What made Simo Häyhä, “The White Death,” the most feared sniper in history?

Simo Häyhä, a Finnish sniper during the Winter War of 1939-1940, became a living legend. Armed with just an iron-sighted rifle, Häyhä took down over 500 Soviet soldiers, all while battling the extreme cold and heavy snow. His camouflage? Pure white snow gear that made him nearly invisible. Despite being severely wounded by an explosive round, he survived and lived to tell the tale. Häyhä’s unmatched skill and resilience earned him the nickname “The White Death,” making him one of the deadliest snipers in history.
