Ok, interesting article on the Finland/Russia tense relationship and a winter war they had where Finnish guerrilla winter tactics were highly effective.

I'm not a huge history buff but this was readable. I'm positive Stig will know about that winter war and probably also the Finnish sniper who wreaked havoc on the Russkis.

Hayha....great read. Reminds me of Audie Murphy...diminutive in size, massively brave.

Yup, what a baddass. Not all sniper kills either, he did a ton up close with a submachine gun as well. One man wrecking crew lol

Killing over 500 people, legally. That's gotta be kinda weird. Plus, lordy he must have gotten extremely skilled at it.

 

[pantheraba]

Sub gun is up close and personal. Amazing he survived all that.

The death count wasn't all.
The Germans were scared shitless of " Weisser Tod". ( The white death).
He really screwed with the morale of the common soldiers.

I find it really impressive that he used a normal open sight Mosint -Nagant rifle for most kills.
Not one of the Russian sniper versions.
Those BTW account for the most sniper kills of any weapon.
The Russians really turned sniping into an art form during WW2.
If you look at a list of high sniper kills, it is dominated by Russian men and women with of course " Weisser Tod" on top.

Man that's a lot of walking.

 

[Buddy]

That’s amazing and at 61 years old! When I was in high school I enjoyed running but now it’s a lot like work. I do still enjoy hiking though.

He didn't walk, he slowly jogged, according to the vid links with the article.
