Meet The Greatest Sniper to Ever Live 

Yet another reason why I'm proud to be Finnish. Greetings from Finland.

Simo the one person they had to call a artillery strike to kill him and it didn’t even work what a legend

Its crazy how much he did, what he went through and never died. From eating just bread and sugar, eating snow. Burying himself in snow. Not using a scope. Getting shot in the face, And still after that, got death threats from the people he saved. True warrior, and hero. RIP, Simo, rest in peace, and history.

you know you're a true warrior when people are still talking about your accolades in the battlefield 70 years later

500+ confirmed sniper kills, unknown amount of smg kills(estimated 200+). Dude wasn't messing around.

Thank you for going more in depth about The White Death. Seriously, this guy is a legend for SEVERAL reasons!

Love Finland from USA 🇺🇸❤️🇫🇮

The trees speak Vietnamese The dead speak Russian The sand speaks Arabic The guns speak English The gas speak german And the snow speaks Finnish

This guy needs more recognition!!? There should be a movie made about this guy!!?? Dude sniped over 500 soldiers!!!?? No other sniper probably even cones close to his #!!?? How is it snipers like Carlos Hathcock, and chris kyle r well known but this guy isnt!!?? And this dude did it with an old mosin nagant M28/30 without a scope and could pop off 16 shots accurately in 1 min....at a target 500 feet away...while having to reload his gun 4 times in process!!?? And he still managed to be insanely accurate!!?? And with a nickname like "the white death" this dude should be more well known and there needs to be a movie made about his life!!?? His story is Crazy & he deserves to be more well known for what he did!!??

Can we please have a movie about this man's amazing life story. 🙏

I have heard about him and also read, this guy was insanely amazing

I live in Finland and it's cool that people talk about someone cool character from my country. Häyhä also never 100% surely confirmed his kill count but easily over 500 kills he got

19:55 It wasn't Finnish newspaper that gave him the nickname "White Death". It was russians calling him "Belaya Smert" AKA you know...

Truly a Legend.

I've known about Simo for most of my life (I'm 55). Growing up in a military family in the US, famous soldiers such as Simo, Audie Murphy, and so many others, were history lessons my dad would teach his boys... and if I had sisters, they would have learned about them, too. As someone who has studied Simo, I greatly appreciate this video as an honorable, respectful commentary about this little farm boy who was dedicated to doing all he could to save his country from occupation - no matter the odds. Thank you.

Wow he really was finnishing people

Almost night, a crimson horizon painting thousand lakes red As your army approach from the east, a hunter is switching his prey All alone, a man with his gun wanders into the wild Tracks you down, you cannot hide once he is on to your trail Enter the night, a flash in the darkness, White Death is heading your way The fear of his foes, a hero at home, hundreds will fall by his gun You’re in the sniper’s sight, the first kill tonight, time to die You’re in the bullet’s way, the White Death’s prey, say goodbye After the dawn when morning has broken, snow once white turned to red Blood red snow tells what happened last night, a tale of a sniper is born Snow in mouth hiding his breath, he is steady at hand Eye to eye, target in sight, the moment to fire has come Hundreds of kills. a man and his rifle embody the sisu of Finns Stay out of sight and cover your head, when he pulls the trigger you’re dead You’re in the sniper’s sight SNIPER’S SIGHT! You’re his first kill tonight FIRST KILL TONIGHT! Say goodbye, say goodbye SAY GOODBYE! Hundreds will fall by his gun You’re in the sniper’s sight SNIPER’S SIGHT! You’re his first kill tonight FIRST KILL TONIGHT! Say goodbye, say goodbye SAY GOODBYE! White death is coming for you

In Gundam 0079, Amuro Ray's RX-78-2 Gundam was nicknamed "The White Devil" by Zeon forces. After seeing that anime many years ago, I researched the name and eventually learned about the GOAT sniper himself.

wow man i d'ont think there will be a sniper like this anymore

"Our foe so vast, Our land so small, where will we find room to bury them all"

This guy was so good, he got a full episode to himself.

Dang, I gotta ask this dude to play splatoon with me, he’d be cracked at the H-3 Splatterscope

After watching this, i no longer hate my small height (173cm or 5 '8), greetings from finland and honor to our legend "the white death"

This guy is the 100th RU-vidr I subbed to

Finally! First video to talk about the amount of daylight or lack of it. That makes Simo so unbelievable.

It's always interesting to learn about history. And it't great that this channel has really versatile content. Good work

Be Amazed should tell more stories, they're great to listen to after a long day of work and school

I can't believe he still got death threats. RIP Simo.😔

I'm so happy to be Finnish! Sending greetings from Finland!

Wow what an amazing story of Simo’s life! The first I’ve heard of him and you told his story brilliantly! To use so little and help his country 👏. Ofc it’s horrific that he had to live his later years with death threats from the people he helped to continue their way of life is just disgusting

A legend who returned to peaceful, quiet life after the war: Like a true finn he didn't brag about his achievements but did his job the best he could. Counter snpers, artillery trikes, nothing helped the enemy until a single lucky shot. And even that didn't stop him permanently.

I can fire, reload fire every 3 - 4 seconds keeping a 2 in group at 200 yards with a Remington 1903A3 , a comparable rifle. Something to add, Simo rapidly acquired individual multiple target without detection, although his scars show he was tagged at least once. My hat off to Simo,,,Semper Fi mac

From now on I am going to call him the sniper that went to God level

Thank`s again, for a good video. Some things to get "right" though: The map of Finland lacks, Karelian isthmus, parts of northeastern Karelia and the "right arm of the Finnish Maiden"= up towards Murmansk/Petsamo. And, not to forget, Simo Häyhä, used his "Brush", a.k.a:Suomi machine pistol, for "cleaning up" in russian trenches. These numbers are not included in those 500+, confirmed kills. And, finally, he was shot with a exploding ammunition, forbidden in Geneva Convention, which russians didn`t care much about, as always. Take a closer look at Ukraine today. from a Finn in Diaspora (My grandparents, lost family farm back then.)

Small correction to 10:40. Mostly only white covers were given to the soldiers. People generally had their own winter clothing with them and due lack of resources, they were even advised to take own clothing with them. After all, everyone naturally had sufficient clothing at home.

Your video editing skills are top-notch, it enhances your content greatly.

I remember the white death he was in "The greatest warriors of all time" video I love that video

How there is not a movie about him is frickin' blasphemy!

I never even imagined you would make this video!

Your videos timing is always impeccable for a nice educative bed time story.

Well i’m 16 years old Finnish boy and i still can’t get over what kind of death Simo häyhä was back in the days even so much that when i’m gonna create my own game i will add him there some way just to Respect our cold ice patient war hero (and one of the few reasons why i like winter (another reason is i was born in 19 february) winter just is just something that some people just refuse to Respect but i’m not those few (and i’m only one in my family born in winter time) isn’t winter just amazing)

you should do these other great hero's . below. korean: yi sun sin : won 23 naval battles against the japanese without losing a single ship. japanese: kusunoki masashige : considered the most loyal samurai even sacrificing his own life for the emperor. japanese: miyamoto musashige : considered one of the greatest swordsman in the world.

holy shit, that is so insane one farmboy who was just such an expert marksman he single-handedly racked more than 500 kills in 3 months I doubt I could get even a fraction of that, even if I had years of training, though I would probably deal well with the cold and iron sights aiming better than most people

In addition to his impressive sniping tally, I heard the WHITE DEATH racked up and extra 200 plus, submachine gun kills.

He forgot to mention that Nagant M/28-30 is also a bolt action rifle, the animation suggest Häyhä was using a semi automatic rifle, so this gives an innaccurate picture of his shooting abilities. A bolt action rifle requires you to basically reset aiming between EVERY shot.

Well there is a surprising hero that somehow fell through the cracks of History. Another interesting character that surprisingly nobody made film about.🤔 Now that's a true Winter Soldier.👌

The birth of the carrot theory. When it was actually night vision

I enjoy all your uploads but this one was one of the best! It was so interesting! And woah what a guy😮 imagine him training 20 men to be at his level 😮

I love SIMO! An argument could be also made for others, such as Carlos Hathcock. I even named my SAKO Finnish Mosin Simo.

finally a video about Simo Häyhä! must be a great video!

That is amazing...i thought the russian sniper that is depicted in enemy at the gate was cool...this man has my respect and admiration!

Respect for Simo Häyhä from protecting Finland so well. Cause I live in Finland. I find it really funny too how you say his name.

Love your video Be Amazed and keep up the great work

I play 4 hours of PUBGM everyday and hasn’t even touched 300 mark since last December on sniper kills. This dude is a legend

I actually heard about this man from The Infographics Show and Thoughty2. As soon as I saw "Greatest Sniper to Ever Live" I was like, "Oh, this must be about Simo Hayha." xD

As long as you have decent vision and are familiar with your gun you don't need a scope until you are trying to see something your eyes can't actually see, in this situation it was very smart for him to not use a scope. Granted his targets were basically feed to him like an expert carnival shooting gallery, what this guy was able to achieve for his country is very impressive indeed. 😄👍

What a huge legacy just because he loves to do in his life.

Almost perfect timing as today is 🇫🇮 106th Indepence Day! Thank you

It's like he's preparing himself just for that war for his entire life.

Slick vid. Nicely done. Thanks!

This is by far at 100% my favorite video! Probably I’m a little partial since I am Finnish, but this was an incredible episode!!!

Amazing man.

Born and raised in Finland myself. I actually remember reading about Simo in history class in high school. They should definitely make a movie about him!

This was the best video I've seen you produce. Im from sweden, and i will most definitely go to the Museum of the Finish hero.

As a Finn I have to say that those winter temps were just crazy.

Almost night, a crimson horizon Painting thousand lakes red As your army approach in the east A hunter is switching his prey All alone, a man with his gun Wanders into the wild Track you down, you can't hide Once he's on to your trail Into the night, a flash in the darkness White Death is heading your way The fear of his foes, a hero at home Hundreds will fall by his gun You're in the snipers sight the first kill tonight Time to die You're in the bullets way The White Death's prey Say goodbye! After the dawn, when morning is broken Snow once white turn to red Hundred soldiers, we have them on sight A tale of a sniper is born Snow in mouth, hiding his breath He is steady at hand Eye to eye, target in sight! The moment to fire has come Hundreds of kills, a man and his rifle Embodied the Sisu of Finn's Stay out of sight and cover your head When he pulls the trigger you're dead! You're in the snipers sight the first kill tonight Time to die You're in the bullets way The White Death's prey Say goodbye! [Solo] You're in the snipers sight the first kill tonight Time to die You're in the bullets way The White Death's prey Say goodbye! (You're in the snipers sight) SNIPERS SIGHT! (You're his first kill tonight) FIRST KILL TONIGHT! (Say goodbye, say goodbye) SAY GOODBYE! (You will fall by his gun) (You're in the snipers sight) SNIPERS SIGHT! (You're his first kill tonight) FIRST KILL TONIGHT! (Say goodbye, say goodbye) SAY GOODBYE! (White death is coming for you) -White Death, Sabaton

Yes! Another story, i hope you make more stories about WW2

It breaks my heart how everyone butchers his name😂but amazing video as always

Not a topic that would normally appeal to me but given this channels great skills, I thought I would give it a watch. Respectfully told and perfectly narrated. Excellent Be Amazed 😊

I'm shocked that you didn't make a pun about his name. He didn't need a scope, he could just Simo

Not to mention that he did all that in the winter war while the other two did it in the two largest wars

I’am so proud of my own country Finland. IM proud to be Finnish

I salute you sir

Big respect to the sisters and brothers from Finland. You were able to defend independence in a difficult war with Russia 🇺🇦🇫🇮

Another cool and interesting video 👍

I guess I was pretty good when I was in boot camp. I was two points away from the lowest marksmanship medal and I had one more left when the whistle blew. For my first time, I'd say that's pretty good

Fascinating

This guy was amazing!!😮

One of those rare moments where another country was colder than Russia.

Now this man will face off against a God in ragnarok.

R.I.P.

This guy has its accomplishment so well known that one of the character of Records of Ragnarok is him, titled « the best sharpshooter that ever lived »

I ahve alot of respect for this man

love ur vids

Finally a video about the white death

Pegahmagabow may not have Simo's impressive kill count, but the man was the original troll of the trenches during WWI. Sneaking into enemy trenches, stealing their medals, cutting pieces of their clothing while they slept, and according to some (though not confirmed to my knowledge), even standing behind sentries on watch.

I love your videos and I'm a big fan to you

In Finland it's mandatory to serve in the army

Impressive sniping! :)

I think there might be a vr game based off of the white death: Sniper Elite VR: Winter Warrior

Be Amazed informs everyone so much and they do it so well😊

YAY lets go another vidio

I love the ring of his nickname..The White Death. Sounds awesome.

Keep going

The GOAT! 😁 🇫🇮

Can we have the White Feather from the Vietnam War featured in the next video? He is the first man who sniped a target from over a mile away.

0:53 tf2 sniper: finally a worthy opponent, OUR BATTLE WILL BE LEGENDARY

RESPECT

Archievement unlocked The Invisible SNIPER

Simo häyhä my legend
