Who had killed more than 500 Soviet soldiers in less than 100 days, the sniper Simo Häyhä known as the "White Death"? Discussion in the premises of the Kollaa and Simo Häyhä museum (https://www.kollaa-simohayha-museo.fi...) This question should be asked by researcher and Doctor of Military Sciences Tapio Saarelainen, who interviewed Häyhä for five years from 1997-2002. Tapio constantly emphasizes humility as a defining characteristic of Häyhä. But how did Häyhä learn to shoot? What made him a superior soldier? And even if he didn't want to talk about them himself, for which actions and stories is Häyhä best known? Background as a major and e.g. as a marksmanship instructor gives Tapio excellent skills to shed light on Häyhä's unique ability, and if after this perhaps our longest episode you are still thirsty for more Häyhä, you should read Tapio Saarelainen's work Simo Häyhä: the legendary sniper of the winter war.
