Simo Häyhä
The Finnish Winter War saw this sniper rack up over 500 confirmed kills in just 100 days. Häyhä used only iron sights while braving brutal winter conditions. Known as “White Death,” he blended into snowy landscapes using white camouflage. After surviving an explosive bullet to the face, he woke up a week later to news of peace. When asked about his accomplishments, he simply called them “practice.”
