Simo Häyhä was my uncles neighbour in Rautjärvi, Finland. Uncle was also in war, and another uncle (who I never met) died in combat at Kollaa river December 1939. My father was also over four years in front or military service, was wounded three times severely: head, stomach and knee, but survived and died 2008 89 years old. -Greetings to US from Finland

@@JamesonsTravels My grandfather told me about fighting the Russians on the Mannerhiem line in the Winter War,through the continuation until 44 and then chasing the German`s out of Lapland and Norway.He said I should know these things so they should not have to happen again.He was one of three brothers(out of 5 total) that went to war,but the only one to survive and was already enlisted prior to the war.None of my cousin`s knew anything about his service record,and they all live in Finland(I am an American born Canadian),however I am the oldest from my generation and he may have felt that it was important for me to know directly from the source and not from a book or my imagination,the reality of his experience of which his survival was detrimental to my own existence.I could go in depth on this topic,but it is not for me to glorify but to honor him and all of his brother`s in arms,for which their efforts to persevere in the face of a superior force saved the nation from Russian domination with assurance of freedom at any cost,still to this day.The Finn`s were fighting communism before it was a thing..

Simo Häyhä was really modest and humble person. His sense of humor was also bone chilling. It's claimed that White Death himself answered to question, "What you felt when You shot Soviet soldiers ? - Recoil. I've understood that He never spoke too much about his achievements and therefore there are only few memoirs and which are told by his fellow soldiers. When Simo Häyhä was asked about his conscience his short answer was: " We did what was supposed to ".

I was looking to see if someone already posted this

@@bazing5557 LOL I was checking as well. I guess I'm the first.

To be accurate he used M28-30 "pystykorva" , which was made from m91 mosins parts. Otherwise the same as m91, but front sight was finn made and the barrel was a new one.

or kilo bolt or kar98 rifle

So we could say, he fought the enemy with their own weapon!

This is so totally Finnish answer.

@@danielmuratore Basicly Finland had no sniper guns at that time. But the best shooters just acted like snipers because of their sight and good shooting skills.

Yea who do they think i think it would be

Ikr haha

😀😀😀😀😊

Yeah, Mikhail Surkov.

Well, if they're as ignorant as most Americans, they probably think it's Chris Kyle.

I did 9 years in the Army and never once used anything but iron sights. He would do shots at 500 feet, which is about 150 meters. For our rifle qualifications that is a mid-range shot. Our long distance shots are 300m with iron sights, over twice as far. I've been out over 8 years, haven't picked up a rifle since, and guarantee I can hit that shot every single time. Standing, seated, or prone. Any sniper will tell you, accuracy is about 10% of a snipers job. In fact I would frequently score higher on the basic rifle range than a trained military sniper. That's not a brag, just a fact. Being a sniper is about patience, remaining undetected, and being extremely observant. This guy was an absolute beast, without question. But even he was quoted as saying that the scope didn't provide enough benefit. All it did was make the target a little bigger, it didn't make the weapon more accurate. Weapon accuracy comes from a stable weapon, proper breathing, and regulated trigger squeeze.

I guess if you think all his kills came using a sniper yeah, it's mind boggling. Alot of his kills (50/50) were done with a sub machine gun.

@@Oxmen33 still with irons. Do you get off on flexing like this?

You have to take the kill count with a grain of salt. I mean, think about it. How are those kills going to be confirmed? Do you seriously think that a sniper is going to come out of cover and make his way to his target afterward, just to confirm that he actually got the guy? That would be a dead sniper pretty quick. So that means that, whatever this guy and his spotter report back as a "kill count", is simply being accepted later on. It makes a good story, and you can tell that the guy likes to brag and listen to his own voice. And the higher ups aren't going to argue, because these stories of, "Legendary Snipers", make good recruitment tools.

@@daemonthorn5888 Even Russians confirmed the kills so that makes it totally legit number. 505 is the minimum confirmed, but could be up to 542.

Skiing is still one of Finlands advances, since then and more and more today mechanical Infantry is used to operating on roads and city areas, and infantry with skies has advantage in winter and off-roading. And in WWII time 70% of finnish soldiers were farmers and used to move in the woods and terrain off road. In fact Finland more than doubled it's tanks by capturing them from the soviet invaders during winter war.

The finnish are starting to sound scarier by the day😳

Finns with sisu can't be beaten..

To be fair, the US pulled experienced pilots back to teach new guys. The Germans and Finns did not have that luxury, but it is certainly the most effective way.

@@PalleRasmussen Before Winter War Finland did not have any frontline fighters, and only around hundred fighters after the Winter war, nor the pilots had real combat experience forehand - but after WWII there were over 70 aces. Not bad for around 200 fighters of Brewsters, Fiats, and later few 109s.

M28-30 has a internal magazine of 5 rounds. Because of this, you can't chamber a extra bullet, so the total capacitt is 5.

Ville Porevirta no, the internal magazine was no different from a standard mosin with a magazine capacity of 4

@@wyatth.j.1661 No, it is not different from standard mosins, but you can still fit five rounds there, you just chamber the top one as soon as you close the bolt. You don't say that a STANAG magazine is a 29 round mag because when you release the bolt, it has 29 round insteade of the 30 rounds. Same logic goes for internal magazines.

Ville Porevirta you do realize that the top part of the magazine area is actually just a feed ramp correct? Meaning it’s not part of the magazine it self. Also in a normal military operation in today’s world I would say that the STANAG is a 29 round magazine, because the army at the least, does not normally completely fill the magazine to its full capacity because at full capacity the first few rounds tend to jam causing a malfunction, even during basic training when you do rifle qualification they do not give you a full magazine, the most they will give you is a 20 round capacity with two ten round magazines depending on how many privates and how much ammunition could be acquired, but the maximum capacity, at this through my experience was 20 rounds for a trainee, standard operations have your magazine capacity at 29 rounds to prevent malfunctions.

Yeah because using exploding bullets in a war of attrition is like the worst thing ever "oh no that guy is gonna die because i shot him with an exploding bullet instead of a regular bullet" like comeone man as if the Germans didn't use them 🙄

Everyone did war crimes in ww2

The whole concept of war crimes is so ironic to me. You’re killing people but oh shit, better not kill them more efficiently

Almost every military use explosive rounds, american planes use them to attack both aerial and ground targets for example. Is not a war crime to use explosive rounds.

@D Griffin Yeah, that guy don't know what he's talking about. Like there should't be any rules in warfare. Seems like he would've been a great SS officer in concentration camps because he don't do war crimes, he just kill people more efficiently. Chemical weapons are also very good example. In WW1 both sides used poison gas (tear gas, mustard gas etc.), and when they got that stuff inside their lungs, it was slow and terrible way to die. Poison gas was prohibited for a good reason 100 years ago.

He scored a couple hundred more with the Suomi M/31.

Luckily for Soviets, he missed the throw. If he had hit, the casualities could have been worse.

Humbleness=Humility 😉 Yeah I agree with you.

I don't know if it's humbleness, or just stating the obvious fact. That is how you get good at something, practice.

And he survived again and again undetected

not just that but superior tactics and utilization of their own environment vs the russians not using concepts like camoflauge or fighting up hill/flanked/ambushed on a constant basis. Considering hes also capitalizing on his own allies positioning opposed to his own..........and the potential for him to capitalize on essentially targets........targeting his men/friends. Almost like that added motivation to succeed. imo quantum mechanics+his practice/hatred for russians is proof of the humans level of peak performance/outcome. This guy is a legit hero any day of the week....undetected bc of the opportunities he got to capitalize on not being a target.....bc his allies were psudo decoys.....his willingness to merk those russians was his proof that it came as no "luxury" to him. He made good on said blood debt. Thats someone with a galvanized resolve.

And the disadvantage of being out-manned 1-10 most of the time. Also no air support or tanks to speak of :)

For those who miss the point: he would have had to reload three times while doing that!

Russians used frangible bullets. They make pretty mess when hit major bone or any hard piece of equipment before body. This is no issue when use body armour, but still hit on leg (or arm) means one leg (or arm) less...

actually, and i could be wrong, non solid bullets were banned after ww2. in the 4th geneva convention during 1949

@@g-low6365 Same as hollow points and all expanding bullets in military applications. Only full metal jackets are allowed.

@@michawojtaszek6504 thats what i said. only solid bullets. it doesnt need to be regular fmj, AP with hardened cores can be used as well. but this was not the case before 1949 convention as i said.

These bullets were banned in the Geneva Convention which the Soviets had signed and then blatantly ignored, that's why us Finns noted Soviet Union using them against us like in this case with Simo.

To me, that makes him the baddest guy out there... no disrespect to white death.

really great man to learn about

That's why Simo was declared dead until he was recovered and actually wrote to his family that stop the funeral for dead man speaks. Bounty on his head was still standing after the war ended and some traitor/spy might have gone for him if he had known Simo had survived.

- There should be a dozen movies made about Finland and Norway’s resistance to being invaded and occupied by both Germany and Russia. The stories are of incredible heroism against massively bigger foes, resulting in something like 17 times the person to person (soldier to soldier) casualty rate.

@@Erin-Thor Finland was never invaded by Nazi Germany, in fact Nazi Germany saw it as a Proxy War and supported the Finnish in Weaponry and even Staff. Ok i reiterate, Nazi Germany attacked Finland in 1944 .

@@Erin-Thor Actually... The British wanted to help Finland by sending troops and material, however Sweden was "neutral" and declined to open the borders between Norway/Sweden/Finland to let them pass through, even for 6 hours. Due to the Soviet threat Finland did not have any other choice than make contact with Germany and Hitler traveled to Helsinki to meet up with Mannerheim to discuss the situation, which Hitler and Germany saw as a great opportunity to strengthen the border towards Soviet with some German troops and the Luftwaffe. However Germany had too much at stake both to the west, North Africa and at the east front so Germany supported with a lot material to the Finnish armed forces.

@@mr.potato5471 They were not banned at all and they were called incendiary rounds. They were used extensively in the war specifically in the air forces.

He cleaned it with the blood of his prey.

Most of his kills were "grouped", soviets literally sent waves of 60-70 men per "squad" or group when attacking so whenever he engaged he engaged a LOT of targets instead of single ones while still having time to conceal himself or well.. clean his rifle

He would of cleaned it at the end of each day like any other soldier! The main reason for cleaning barrels back in those days was because they used mercury based primers that corrode the throat of the barrel.

I agree with that. The Finnish special operations forces trained us in Ukraine against Russia. Bad motherfuckers.

@Sam G49 I trained with members from Jager, FDIA, Finnish Border Patrol and 1 other Medical unit that I can't remember the name of, I apologize. Mainly using NH90s, as our air superiority was destroyed almost instantaneously. This would be approximately early May 2014 to around to September 14th, 2014. Trained at the "11" in Kuovola and places I'm sure you know of outside of Helsinki. I completed a High Altidude Parachute course, but only had 5 total jumps with the assist of Finland using the help of C-295 ABs and a couple F/18-Cs from 1 other country. I went straight back Kiev on September 19th. And my first day of combat was two days after. I operated in Lugansk, Donetsk, and Donbass. Embedded with both 88th and 95th Air Assault and 501st Medical, which soon evaporated on the eastern front.

@Sam G49 Honestly, brother, I can only remember one NCO that was from Sweden and he only went by a cover name "Huggorm"... that's all I knew him as. All I know is, I truly thank him and Finland helping us at all. The United States didn't do anytbing but send an ODA to "survey" my country being burned to the ground. Hopefully this doesn't start a fight on here, but the Swedes also helped EVAC out of Donbass airport... which was the heaviest combat I ever experienced. The cowards were using such overwhelming small arms fire, we couldn't establish air, AA, or ground superiority. And then I, unfortunately, got hit in late 2015 trying to perform "Recon by Fire"... my teammate went down then I went down like bricks hitting the floor. I lived he died. It was intense, and I struggle still to this day. Thank you, and your country for supporting us, brother. It's a debt that is not repayable. I was only trained by Fins. It's difficult to explain. We (Ukraine) had to stage a basic training and AIT outside of the original city and Finland gave us their best dudes to train us. I was Ukrainian Naval Infantry originally 88th then moved to 95th Air Assault 501st SOM Medic.

@Sam Kello49 if Russia knew that Finland was giving was giving us training, let alone equipment and weapons at the time, there would have been an all out war. They were watching Kyiv to see what we were capable of... so you have to stop them from looking. Ukraine wasn't and isn't a member of EU or NATO Forces. We are, however, aligned directly with the DCFTA, or Deep Comprehensive Free Trade Area as of 2016. Nonetheless, we gained our independence in 1991 just like most Ex-Soviet Satellite States, we earned the right to ask for help from neighboring countries if need be. I would normally had been doing all of my training all over Ukraine (Odessa, Mariupol, Sevastopol and my garrison was originally in Mykolaiv)... those men in Finland also had to volunteer to even want to train us. They weren't forced. Hence, why there was a wide range of people from different branches (Army, SOF, Border Patrol, Intelligence). My war is done. If I could back right now, I would. I can't. Yes, I struggle with PTS daily. But, I would like to be an advocate for soldiers anywhere in the world struggling with PTS and transitioning back into society... There is still some skirmishes and firefights happening in eastern Ukraine today. However, most of the heaviest combat has regressed substantially.

A direct translation from Finnish to English means he is pronouncing it correctly. But I'm sure it does sound odd coming from English mouths. :-)

Rarely any Russian would honor or respect enemy. Their tactics are disrespectful to begin with, since WW2. Most recent example is the annexation of Crimea, sending unmarked soldiers, still denying, and after a year or two admitting they did it when Putin officially made it part of Russia.

Long range shooting is fun but takes some study beyond 500 yards. Wind etc. Give it a try.

Jamesons Travels I definitely will when I get the chance! Also, Simo most likely used a variation of Finnish Mosin Nagants that have 5 rounds in an external magazine. Ian from Forgotten Weapons has an video on them! m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-46ZP9XH8bZs.html

Oorah devil pup, don’t worry you’ll be hitting target at 500 yds easily in bootcamp and if you decide to go scout sniper you’ll be hitting targets much further and learning some bad ass strategies from marines who’ve already have experience in combat

Yes, but that particular gun was built for insane accuracy up to 2km, it had all kind of extra features and was used in many competitions. Most of his kills wouldn't have been outside 1000m, probably much less. He is known for volume, not distance.

Always go for the chest area. Most likely it will kill the target, or at least take them out of the battle.

I am studying the battle. Very interesting.

He didn’t underestimate the Russian winter. He attacked Russia the first day of summer but an early winter (even for Russia) came. Germany didn’t march with full strength because they had to leave men behind in Italy bc the Italians couldn’t best Greece.

@@Budd631 actually operation Barbarossa was postponed to 6/22. They initially shot for May but were held up logistically. Perhaps in part due to the Italians. But it was the largest invasion in history. So to say it was complicated would be an incredible understatement

The spring mud was far more devastating as it completely bogged down the germans logistics

Wow, stolen valour at its finest. You are so full of shit its scary. You clearly don't have a clue what you are talking about. And just so you know, there is a scout sniper database and you are not on it. Infantry are trained to shoot center mass. At sniper school they use 1 inch target patches up to 1600 meters. Center mass is called MPI, "mean point of impact". A target patch is about the same size as an eyeball. And your spotter calls the shot, not the sniper. Your spotter sets wind, temperature, earth rotation, moisture etc into his 'NOCS. Also, snipers don't usually go for moving targets, they go for the stationary target. Wise up jack, you might have been an infantrymen, but you were no sniper. And again, 400 meters is nothing, infantry shoot at that range with open sights all the time.

He died in Vietnam right?

@@jonasemilaksnes yes he did

@Autodidactic Peasant he never served with soviets, the reason he fought for germany and usa after finland was his intense hate of communism... wtf are u talking about

i told him the same thing in a different video, usa/finn here i been to arlington at Törni's grave body was only recovered late 90's from laos(?)

@@grumpyfinn I'm sure Peasant is just trolling

Actually Soviets did on occasions use explosive/incendiary rifle ammo, supposedly we’re to be used as spotter ammo for marking enemy positions and yes snipers also used them at times. Different from the expansive ammo you speak of. The Germans had similar rounds as well, I believe they contain white phosphorus.

@@AbhinavTella I believe you're correct. There was a youtube video about some guys shooting old German "explosive rounds" but its pretty much incendiary ammo.

wrong. do your research. soviet 54R PZ in 7.62*54r and German B patrone in 8mm mauser were spotting bullets designed for another use. but, used by snipers instead.

Incorrect. Tungsten Carbide rounds were used by the GERMANS first in 1942, and they were anti-tank rounds. The round you're speaking of did not exist. It's a complete fabrication. Not really sure what you are talking about. That being said, Russian snipers did in fact use explosive rounds or incendiary rounds. They cause small explosions on impact and often lit things on fire.
