The White Death

                                                               The White Death

During the Winter War( 1939-1940 ) beeten the Soviet Union and Finland no thing where more scarier to the russian soldiers that going on patrol , they know that it was a suicaide mission due to one of the most clear exapmples of the One Man Army phrase , they know that at any moment a well placed bullet in the head will end whit their lives , they know that they where been watched by no other that  The White Death .  The White Death was the nickname of the finnish sniper Simo Haya , the men whit most kills durnig a war , and really is !!! he kill no less than 505 confirmed kills whit his sniper rifle , a modified Mosin -Nagat and an other 200 kills whit an Sumoi KP/31 sub machine gun , giving a total number of 705 kills (confirmed ones) in a time of 100 days. He was so good at sniping that no matter what soviets try , they never kill him , they use counter sniper teams , artillery etc , but nothing can stop the White Death of taking his prices , it was on a March 6 1940 , when his killing wave will finally stop during a combat one lucky russian soldier manage to shot Haya in the face , but he was not so lucky to kill him he just wounded him , because belive or not he survive to his injurys , take a lot of time and change the way his face look but he survive . The thing that made this men so good and so feard was the metods he use to evade the spotting , he never use telescopic sight because in cold wheater it fog , also because the light reflection can reveal his potiton , he bury himself in snow so well that when he fire no one know where the shot came from , it also put snow in his mouth to uncover the breath of giving away his potition. He died in april of 2002 at the age of 96

  1. This seems like a really good story to me, I have always liked sniper rifle in videogames, I like to research about the improvements that are made to these weapons sometimes, even if its not relevant for my daily life.
    There are many things that can be learned about rifles during the war, for example, snipers hold the breath so they don't move the aim and miss the shot. Knowing all those things about snipers and the war won't help you in life, but its still an interesting topic and is good to know if the reader is interested in topics that talk about weapons such as rifles. There is a lot of material you can find for the topic, its very diverse, its not only about the weapons that snipers and soldiers use, it can be about tanks, missles, or any other weapon that can be fired and has a specific trayectory I am running out of ideas about what to comment in your blog, maybe I should try commenting about the visual design of your blog, for example, your videos would look better at the left/right side of the blog and the logo can be improved too. The writing style you use for your blog is excelleny, I usually overuse the word "I" too much, your writing is comprehensive and makes me want to continue reading, which is benefitial for your blog, maybe you can check my blog!

  2. Hi Daniel!
    That was a very good story. A lot of video games got this character playable and I like a lot using him because it’s really difficult to locate him. I may be scare if I walked in the snow, knowing that I might get kill that storm. Anyway, I hope you continue this blog talking about ballistic. Good Luck!

  3. Wow Daniel as always you do an excellent post! I never knew something like that existed. A person that with a single weapon killed more than 700 people confirmed (wow), even more he did that on less than 100 days, how did he was able to do that, more than 700 bullets came out from his weapon and they all hit or what? I think i would like to know more about this, the thing is here, how can someone do such a job? was he a cool blood assassin or what?, well seeing this it shows that he was, but it is amazing the ability he had to kill as a sniper, and to survive always even when the injuries were mortal, and living 96 years, it is a person worth knowing, even if it was a killer, it was his job, for his country, that man must be very important on the history of their war versus Finland. The nickname they gave him, stands a lot because of all the snow in Russia he had the advantage on the war field.
    Daniel this is an amazing blog, keep on posting things like this and I'll keep commenting your blog. See ya!
