One of the deadliest snipers ever to roam the face of the earth was Simo Häyhä, who fought on the Finnish side during the Winter War in 1939 and 1940. He was also known as White Death, as he killed an estimated 500 Russians in the cold snowy winter.

This episode is one of the most frequently requested songs for Sabaton History. And while the story of Simo Häyhä is a compelling story, the Winter War was about much more than the deadliest sniper of World War Two. We have made an earlier episode about the Winter War, based on the Sabaton Song 'Talvisota', which is Finnish for Winter War. You can watch that right here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6grVeu3EWis.html. If after that, you're keen to dive even deeper into the history of the Winter War, I suggest you check out Indy's 'World War Two' channel, where he covered the Winter War (and everything before and after that) week by week. You can check that out right here: ru-vid.com If you would like to gain early access to our Sabaton History episodes and actively support this awesome project that we are so passionate about, you can do so by joining our Patreon community.

Oh, come on guys. I have been begging you guys to play this song live on Graspop as on Wacken. And on neither festivals, you guys have not played this song. I am not going to deny that I am happy you guys do this song plus the shirt Indy wears is great plus the background was great. But seriously guys, do this song when you guys roll by in Antwerp. It would be my sixth time to see you guys there. But still, this episode was great. And now, we can learn more about my favorite person from history.

@@ekgaddar1Just no. Most common distance was 50-150m,its almost impossible to see anything in Finnish forest after 100m. WW2 snipers rarely shot past 500m. That is something that only came thing in cold-war era and mainly in Afganistan/Iraq mountains. You just cant fire accurately past 200-300m with Iron sight and 500m was quite extreme even for scoped sniper rifle. After 1000m You need to take lots of things to consideration: How many times wind changes direction/speed,Earth rotation...Also things like quality of bullet is really important for sniping. We didnt have special ammo for snipers like Soviets,Germans and US had in WW2. Simo like everybody in Finnish army would use normal rifle bullets that were not specially made for higher quality.

The man used iron sights because the scope exposes you head more and enemy sniper might catch the reflection of light off the glass. He put snow in his mouth so his breath wouldn't give him away. And he waited hours in the snow to get the perfect shot. He survived an explosive bullet to the face. Simo Hayha is definitely a man to respect.

@@alvatoredimarco As a Finn I gotta say that in their defense they wanted to help Finland (because they didn't want communism to spread into Europe) but while they sent ambulances and resources there, Sweden didn't let any troops go through because they were afraid it would change their neutrality status. This is why a lot of Finns even to this day has mistrust towards Sweden because they considered them their biggest ally. However in Sweden's defense while they didn't send troops, they also sent resources and took in thousands of war children. I don't blame them because it was a messy time in history and even though we lost most of Karelia we are happy we kept our independence unlike many other countries during/after WW2.

One of my co-workers has a M39 Finnish Mosin. They're highly sought after in the US, widely regarded as one of the best variants of Mosins. Very cool rifle.

I hope Sabaton writes something about the Continuation war, maybe a whole album about Scandinavia around WW2? My Grandfather passed away June 6th this year, he served as a child in the Winter War. Not as a soldier per se, but he helped civilians and their Cattles escpae the russians artillery and air raids. First the finnish veterans guild didn't want to earn him a Veteran title, but after some time they acknowledge him and many other children who helped behind the front. He saw plenty of death, and his last memories in life was of the bread crumbs he had in his pockets in that winter and told us to never stop feed the horses or they wouldn't follow because of the bombs. (He didn't have horses as an adult or elder). I know this isn't about Simo Häyä, and i loved this episode.

I had a priviledge to be part of honor guard at the winter wars 50 the anniversary at Kontioranta, Simo Häyhä was the guest of honor at the celebration. Simo's uniform and rifle was at display in the "heritage room" of my unit. Small and humble man, unbelievable soldier.

4:43 "Finnish hunter, 1940" - picture of guy with DP-28 light machine gun. Well, figures Finnish game would be hardcore enough to require automatic weapons...

@mikajulin 4 года назад

I think the original article used the finnish word "jääkäri", the term for infantry. The word is derived from swedish/german "jaeger" for hunter. So the meaning of the original text would have been closer to "Finnish infantryman, 1940"

The Soviets even tried to bomb a cabin which they spotted him to be hiding in. The cabin got obliterated by airstrike but Simo made it out just in time with only the back of his jacket being destroyed. And the legend has it that, before Simo went unconscious after being shot in the face, he took out his shooter.

@willrogers3793 5 лет назад

I really do enjoy getting these little snippets of how Sabaton evolved over the years, that bit about how writing “White Death” was in some ways the first step towards writing the “Heroes” album was very interesting to me. And again, you guys manage to teach me something I didn’t know before; I knew Simho Häyää survived being shot in the face (which is impressive enough as it is), but I had no idea he went on to live to the age of 97! Sad that he lost his home from the peace agreement, but I’m happy to learn that he at least went on to have a long and peaceful life after the war. Thanks again to Indy and Joachim for a great video, and to all the guys in Sabaton for a great song! 👍🤘

@quentinbonafede434 2 года назад

In a world where war has found a new face, the wages fought in comments, reviews, and the infinite tangle that is social conduct, I hope Sabaton will know now and forever that they should be seen as legends of similar heart as the heroes they sing for. The fact my mentioning of this would if seen insight, no doubt, thousands if not millions of voices demanding my head, or any of those that would speak of comparing a mere band, to war heroes that fought so hard, is only proof that the comparison holds. In these troubling times, when so few can be trusted among the many that used to be, the popular forces that we admired only to find were elevated by a lying face and a charming outside, I find solace that Sabaton will never be on the list of those that lied to us, and listen comfortably knowing Sabaton rock with good will and value honor and kindness above all. God speed, you magnificent bastards

Gotta say while the Finish M 28/30 is harder to find, and heavier than a typical Mosin. I can see why Simo loved it. I'm still getting the surplus kinks worked out of mine via a gunsmith, but after a thousand rounds I love it.
