The sniper during World War II - Simon Haye was called the White Death. The main reason was that he often wore white camouflage uniforms and set the world's sniper record!

Simon Haye

Simon Haye was the most important sniper in the war between Finland and the Soviet Union during World War II. He was also one of the youngest snipers in Finland. Setting the world's first sniper record and ranking first in the sniper rankings with 542 people, Simon Haye joined the army when he was 14 years old and began his active training career from 1939 to 1940. During World War II, it was Simon Haye's most glorious period!

Soviet-Finnish War

It is worth mentioning that during World War II, the biggest enemy our country faced was Japan, and Finland was also initially attacked by Germany. The invasion was because after Germany captured Austria, it went directly to Finland. However, Germany did not stay in Finland for long before continuing to attack south. On the contrary, the other superpower in the world was the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union had an affair with Finland. The main reason for the war was that the Soviet Union bypassed Finland to build a Finnish military base and stationed troops there, which made Finland completely angry, because it was obvious that this was the Soviet Union's plan to forcibly occupy Finland!

No. 1 sniper

In the Soviet-Finnish War, the powerful Soviet Union launched a fierce attack on Finland, which had a population of only 4 million. It sent 26 divisions to 46 Troops ranging from division to division can fly in to attack, which is indeed difficult to resist for classification. So Finland adopted division and encirclement, continuous guerrilla warfare, and launched a struggle with the Soviet Union. In the struggle, the most important unit and the unit that contributed the most was the sniper. Simon Haye has achieved brilliant results as the main sniper. Statistics show that Simon Haye killed 506 people during the Soviet-Finnish War.

If we use statistics from the war of about a year at that time, Simon Haye would kill an average of 5 Soviet soldiers a day. And because Simon Haye usually wore white rice-colored uniforms, he was called the White God of Death!
