The White Death: How a five-foot Finnish farmer became the deadliest sniper in history with 505 kills during the 1939-40 Winter War against the USSR

  • Simo Häyhä, who died 15 years ago aged 96, fought for Finnish Army against Soviets in 1939-40 Winter War
  • The largely forgotten conflict began when USSR invaded eastern Finland in an attempt to expand its territory
  • Häyhä became a legend, hitting Soviet soldiers from 300 yards away and once claiming 25 kills in a single day
