[00:00:00]Did you know one Finnish farmer killed over 500 Soviet soldiers in just 100 days? His name was Simo Häyhä. December 1939, the Soviet Union invaded Finland with over 1 million troops. Finland had 300,000. Simo was a quiet dairy farmer who knew every tree, every rock, every shadow in the frozen forests of his homeland. When the Soviets came, he picked up his rifle and disappeared into the snow. The temperature dropped to 40 below zero. Most soldiers couldn't even hold their weapon steady. Simo used only iron sights, no scope, no advanced equipment, just patience and precision.

[00:00:35]He would lie motionless for hours, snow covering his body like a burial shroud.

[00:00:40]Then one shot, one kill. The Soviets started calling him the white death.

[00:00:44]They sent counter snipers to hunt him down. He killed them all. They called in artillery strikes on empty forests, just hoping to hit one man. Entire units refused to advance through areas where he might be hiding. One farmer had become a ghost that haunted an entire army. The deadliest sniper in history was a man who just wanted to protect his home.
