He's legendary in military circles, not just because he killed more enemy soldiers, but because of the absolute terror he instilled in the Russian invaders.
In Finland everybody serves and they do their duty. Simo himself said "I was only doing my duty". Recent years his fame has grown and he was a quiet finnish man, not bragging of anything. He was just very good at what he did. There's always a question...do we celebrate man who just has come to front line and die. No we don't...maybe we should. Food for a thought..
There is, unconfirmed, but it is said he snipered 500+ and also normal combat 300+ enemies. so it gets around 800+.. and he said.. I did what I was supposed to do
And no, Simo never married due to respect of not giving a bad/ terrifying image to, or scare women with his scarred face and not to mix them up on his terrible profession. Not to mension, he was humble, mild mannered and generaly a friendly, simple man, who only did his duty to proctect against home invasion. Nothin more, nothing less.
In that time when he got farm it was huge. Finland paying ussr all war prises. Dont remember word,sotakorvaus. Finland was poor. Rebuild and economy on stop. Hard times these peeps faced and rise. Crazy
Even the close second from the USSR does not come anywhere close to Hayha's deadliness Like the video mentions he is said to have cut down a few hundred enemies with his submachine-gun as well and while they are not sniper kills and therefore not counted towards his sniper kills, they are statistics nonetheless and contribute towards his sniper status The sheer statistics combined with the fact that he pulled many of history's best iron-sight shots recorded in any conflict makes him the deadliest sniper and one of the deadliest soldiers in history and on this note no one below him can be considered on the same level at all even if their statistics are somewhat "close"

To put his kill count into perspective: he fought in the winter war, which lasted just over 100 days. That means he no-scoped at least 5 people a day!
And the days were short! I think his highest one-day count was like 42 or something - can you imagine?
@@billholder1330 man was a beast
A real Winter soldier
That is TRUE!!
What an Incredible life!! 🇫🇮
He never shot a human being, just enemies. That was the mentality of Finnish soldiers defending their homeland.

Just be smart about it, like Häyhä was. Ten finns equall hundred russians. And that's about right I guess.
@@WeeJiiWee Russian have so many ppl that they can do that. So the tactics have been very different.
I am so glad you liked Simo, so do we Swedes.

Not knowing when you will get sniped must be a terror lol
And top of that he lived long enough to witness the fall of soviet union. F*cking legend.
