One Man Killed 500 Soviet Soldiers in 100 Days - The White DeathAdded:
Did you know one man killed over 500 Soviet soldiers in just 100 days? His name was Simo Häyhä. The year was 1939.
The Soviet Union invaded Finland with over 1 million troops. Finland had 300,000, but they had Simo. He was 5 ft 3 in tall, a quiet farmer who barely spoke. In the frozen forests, he became death itself. No scope, just iron sights and patience. The Soviets called him the White Death. They couldn't see him, couldn't hear him. Men would just drop.
One shot, one kill, every time.
