One key reason to Simo's efficiency with his rifle was the fact it was HIS rifle. He used it to hunt, target practice, etc. He knew exactly where his sights had to be for each shot.
That makes sense then why he never used the rifle that he was awarded. It was new to him, unfamiliar. His rifle that he had always used by then had kind of become an extension of his arms or something like that. Once you use a tool enough times you get that used to it that it's almost like your brain adopts the tool as part of your body

How he shoots with circles for hands is beyond me. The fact that he got shot in the head and survived and then outlived the Soviet Union dying in 2002 makes this man's story even more incredible.
I love the detail when Simo twitches his leg. For you see, officer who notices it yells: "Elossa! Lääkintäpaikalle!" Which is finnish and means: "Alive! To medical tent/area." Great detail:)
@@ilmarisarjakoski7166 One thing I am not certain is the "Vittu" word ("Fuck" in english) used when the artillery damages his sleeve. My point is I am not certain ww2 finns used that word that much during those times, not certain. We finns have too many curse words anyway =)
I've seen many videos covered about Häyhä's story, but, this, for the first time, I was astounded by both storytellings and animations. Seeing this new video makes me think of the short story that I read two years ago entitled "Wolves of Karelia", about Häyhä's story. Amazed how long enough this man lived. I was six days old when he deceased!

What I love about the Fins, aside from their formidable hockey skills, is their snark. Some examples: On the Winter War: Fins Lament - "The Soviets are so many and our country so small, where will we find room to bury them all?" On the Third Reich: Nazi Officer - "If there were fifty million Fins, we would share the world with you" Finnish Officer - "If there were fifty million Fins, what makes you think WE would share anything with YOU?" On the Cold War: Soviet Premier - "Brother, in the name of unity, what say we remove the border between our nations?" Finnish President - "Brother, sadly I must decline, I could not possibly govern a country so large"
Would like to add, that after being released from the hospital, mr. Häyhä wanted to come back to fight in the continuation war, but was declined by the government (due to the severity of his injuries). One of the most badass people ever.
@@welkingunther5417 Well, what can a single man do during 105 days of war... Imagine what he could do during Jatkosota... And if not "practice" was mentioned... He did that also quite well... He is a such a good fighter, that even mentioning his name seems like death for us,,,, Just reading and mentioning. His real name is fearful for the Russians and talking to me... You should know better.
Don’t talk about Vietnam who knows how many angry Americans there are Edit: This was meant to be a joke at how often I see the salty ppl, but u all make fair points and I appreciate that!
I've probably seen hundreds of.videos on the white death by now but every time I find I new one I always enjoy watching them, there's something about him I just can't get enough of.
I grew up surrounded by guns and used to hunt as a teenager. I was a pretty good shot but my brother was way better. At a target there was nothing between us. But out in the woods he seen to have the ability to see things that were out of place, even the smallest thing. Another thing he was great at was scanning a patch of clover and picking the ones with 4 leaves without even bending down. I think he got it from my grandfather who used to analyse aerial photographs during WW2.
He slept well because he made peace with his kills. His enemy knew they were there to do the same to him, so he made peace by asking for forgiveness from each of them right after the fact of the kill and therefore absolving himself of guilt. He was a hunter and that is what a 'true' hunter does. 🙂
AND the big Sovjet Army attacked his little country, The hole country fights, in one or another way, together, against that enemy..............Its a difference, if nowadays soldiers fight in wars far away, while life at home stays for 99.9 % as usual, and a lot of the people AND the soldiers couldnt exactly explain WHY and for WHAT they are fighting.
No Will Wham he slept well because it was War. Kill or be Killed, I would wager Like Me he Knows Each Face of the Men Who fell to his Bullets. I can see each one, what they were wearing and the color of their Hair and Eyes. This because most of mine were in 20 foot range or Less a few were south of Da Nang on Hill 55 from '65 to '69 on station. I used to wake up screaming sometimes, now I just Jump Awake. Until you have been there you have no clue, don't speak !! ! My name is a Pseudonym because of a 40+ year Law Enforcement Career. My Avatar is my wife, also of 40+ years .. .
My father's parents are from Finland. My grandfather fought in the winter Wars. Our last name is p e l t o n e n. My dad told me many stories about his father's War experience. I knew about this great sniper many many years ago. You cannot defeat a true patriot. He always put country before his own well-being. God bless him. I hope Russia doesn't try that same crap against Finland again. But they might.
Being a MN born man the snow I understand. The fact that this well disaplined man uses the snow perfectly to best advantage and then iron shots his rifle. There is much respect here this I can tell you. Great work and content. What a video. So well done by narration telling the story.
There is one Key factor that made Simo such an excellent shot and why it is unlikely there will ever be a sniper as good as he was. It's the fact that the M28 he used was his own personal weapon which he purchased from the army after his national service. As such he had hundreds if not thousands of hours with a single rifle as such he knew every minute detail and intracy of his weapon allowing him an unprecedented level of accuracy and consistency. Modern soldiers are given a rifle for a deplyoyment or for guard duty after which it goes back to the armoury. They may never see the exact same rifle again. So while they may be very competent with the rifle at a general level they never will be quite as familliar with a single rifle which will have tiny quirks due to minute differences in forging, barrel wear and part fit.
@@TheDennys21 eh, i’d disagree. *Any* weapon can perform exceptionally, old or new. And yes, you can get aquatinted with a weapon easily, but some of the weapon’s quirks can take months or years to learn about, simply due to how subtle they may be. When I was a Weblos Scout in the Cub Scouts of America, back in 2009-2010, my parents bought me a basic compound bow, a foam target (identical to the targets at summer camp), an armguard, a pair of lightweight shooting gloves, a plastic quiver, and 10 fiberglass, dullpoint (sport) arrows. In the summer, I’d set up the target in my backyard, and spend a few hours every weekend shooting. I did this for the next year or so, and then started to stop in 2011, after I crossed over into the Boy Scouts. Then, when I was a Second Class scout (roughly 3-4 years after i crossed over), I took the Archery merit badge during summer camp. The camp had compound bows, and we would shoot every day, as one of the requirements for the merit badge was to “qualify” (effectively, you had to get a certain number of points, based on where your arrows hit). Over the 5 days I spent at Summer Camp, I didn’t manage to qualify, as my arrows generally only landed in the outermost ring, or outside the target completely. A week later, my dad (the Scoutmaster of my troop) arranged for me to go back up to camp to have another shot at qualifying, this time with my equipment. I strapped the armguard and gloves on, slung my quiver on my shoulder (it was a back-worn quiver), picked up my bow, and fired the 8 arrows I’d brought (the number of arrows the requirement allowed) at the camp’s archery target. Of those 8 arrows, 1 landed in the outer ring, 5 landed in the innermost ring, and 2 were bullseyes; more than enough points to qualify. The only difference between the bows at camp and mine, was my familiarity with my bow. I still have that bow, my target, and those arrows today, but I don’t use them anymore. One of the arrows is actually mounted on my bedroom wall, next to my Eagle Scout medal.
I owned and often fired a Finnish M39 rifle which is identical to Häyä's M28 and must thank you for thesd perfectly accurate sights and sight picture in the video. This is high end stuff. Thank you!

@@nangkhrawborsuting2788 I'm curious of which one initiated the partnership. As we know, Sabaton keeps an eye on RUclips videos like this, as they are just as interested in this history as we are, if not more.
It's spring 1944 over the oilfields of Romania its a strategic location wich supplies 60 percent of the reichs crude oil and is vital to axis logistics. that's why the allies have it in their sights sworms of b17's are escorted by squadrons of p51 mustangs the catalac of the skies its an epic force but they are not expecting an easy ride as the cries of bandits goes out swarms of bf109's are spotted the p51 desperate tries to protect the slower b17's and a bitter dogfight ensues .a American pilot is going to score a kill on a 109 when another 109 opens up with cannon fire from just 100 yards the mustang doesn't stand a chance there is a an explosion as its last flight ends The pilot targets and trails another mustang another American plane is sent in flames to the ground. this particular pilot skill is noted by the Americans and eight mustangs team up to scream around him but the German is evading most of the fire with superb maneuvers and hard turns. but being chased in hard battle drinks fuel at an alarming rate .in the cockpit of the 109 a warning light has be going for some time now the german knows he won't make it back to base as the engine starts to splutter he bails out .one of the mustang pilot circles around on what looks like an attack run on the falling pilot but salutes and flashes past. the code of conduct among the knights of the air is not forgotten and in the receiving end of the salute is erich Hartmann the deadliest fighter ace of all time with 352 confirmed victories . He scored most of his victory against the Soviet. Well sorry for some inconsistencies
@@lolollolol5654 he was modest loner. didn't brag. for example, it was years after the war he told he had killed 8 soviet generals. felt no remorse during or after the war.

We all know your animation has been improving, but this video really set a new bar for you guys. The attention to detail on facial expressions, bodily movements, SFX, and all the other things that the animators and directors have improved upon really is incredible. Thank you Yarnhub for your weekly videos.
He wasn’t actually given a sniper rifle with a scope by the Finnish government. Thats just an assumption in the animation. They left out the scope from his gift rifle. There is picture of him receiving the rifle. It was a more modern updated rifle on the mosin design with updated sights among other things that the regular army was using (his gift was just a custom accurized sniper version). Simo prefered to use his own older rifle he had purhased from the civil guard almost 20 years earlier as he knew the weapon and its particular idiosyncrazies inside out. Any sniper will tell you that a intimately familiar rifle is more prefered than a slightly improved rifle that you must spend a lot of trigger time to get accustomed to. Especially as you have to make do with service ammo that you are issued and he went straight back to the front lines. When Simo was injured his rifle was lost in the field. And he was evacuated immediately after being shot. He was initially evaluated as a casualty at the field hospital were he was taken to and subsequantely spotted moving in the casualty line outside the tent. There are many minor discrepancies in the video like that.
Ага, конечно, все самые лучшие снайперы - советские, имели на счету подтвержденные убийства другим человеком и зарегистрированные, в отличие от симо, который хрен пойми где был один, а когда в реальности встретился с советами, то получил пулю в лицо
Scopes are for 'targets'. No, seriously... Having a scope in a winter landscape is asking to be detected unless you have a very very substantial shield and filter.
@@RealCadde The detection can be reduced/removed by a mesh/net. But the cold environment will likely cloud up on the scope and even cause ice crystals to form, reducing the accuracy of the scope and causing glare in scope
Excellent work Yarnhub, and pronouncing Finnish names. I honestly expected another Simo Häyhä circlejerk, but this was done very well, a pleasure to watch. And to final words, Simo´s telegram to relatives: "Stop the funeral, deceased is missing."
I just noticed something that's really cool and shows that Yarnhub really does put a ton of effort into their videos. At 4:13, when Simo Häyhä shoots, you can see the third Russian soldier buckle, as if they just got shot. Really cool, Yarnhub. Keep up the good work!
Wow, you've really outdone yourself with this one! The trees throughout the video look great from the pine needles to the bark and the whisps of snow drifting down. The wood of the rifle and artillery looked quite goid as well, and I appreciate you depicting the sniping while still maintaining a 'clean' video. Once again, amazing work. :)
"You're in the bullet's way, the White Death's prey, say goodbye" I wouldn't have known of Simo if not Sabaton. So it's thanks to them I get to know this sniper legend.
Thank you so much fro bringing Simo's story to your channel, YarnHub. It’s amazing how the animations are every time greater. Looking forward to see more stories like this one. Have a good day, guys.

Being a MN born man the snow I understand. The fact that this well disaplined man uses the snow perfectly to best advantage and then iron shots his rifle. There is much respect here this I can tell you. Great work and content. What a video. So well done by narration telling the story.

I’m lierally laughing so hard rn
There is one Key factor that made Simo such an excellent shot and why it is unlikely there will ever be a sniper as good as he was. It's the fact that the M28 he used was his own personal weapon which he purchased from the army after his national service. As such he had hundreds if not thousands of hours with a single rifle as such he knew every minute detail and intracy of his weapon allowing him an unprecedented level of accuracy and consistency. Modern soldiers are given a rifle for a deplyoyment or for guard duty after which it goes back to the armoury. They may never see the exact same rifle again. So while they may be very competent with the rifle at a general level they never will be quite as familliar with a single rifle which will have tiny quirks due to minute differences in forging, barrel wear and part fit.
I would disagree, you can get familiar with any rifle pretty quick and a new one will always perform better than an older one.

@@TheDennys21 eh, i’d disagree. *Any* weapon can perform exceptionally, old or new. And yes, you can get aquatinted with a weapon easily, but some of the weapon’s quirks can take months or years to learn about, simply due to how subtle they may be.
When I was a Weblos Scout in the Cub Scouts of America, back in 2009-2010, my parents bought me a basic compound bow, a foam target (identical to the targets at summer camp), an armguard, a pair of lightweight shooting gloves, a plastic quiver, and 10 fiberglass, dullpoint (sport) arrows. In the summer, I’d set up the target in my backyard, and spend a few hours every weekend shooting. I did this for the next year or so, and then started to stop in 2011, after I crossed over into the Boy Scouts.
Then, when I was a Second Class scout (roughly 3-4 years after i crossed over), I took the Archery merit badge during summer camp. The camp had compound bows, and we would shoot every day, as one of the requirements for the merit badge was to “qualify” (effectively, you had to get a certain number of points, based on where your arrows hit). Over the 5 days I spent at Summer Camp, I didn’t manage to qualify, as my arrows generally only landed in the outermost ring, or outside the target completely.
A week later, my dad (the Scoutmaster of my troop) arranged for me to go back up to camp to have another shot at qualifying, this time with my equipment. I strapped the armguard and gloves on, slung my quiver on my shoulder (it was a back-worn quiver), picked up my bow, and fired the 8 arrows I’d brought (the number of arrows the requirement allowed) at the camp’s archery target.
Of those 8 arrows, 1 landed in the outer ring, 5 landed in the innermost ring, and 2 were bullseyes; more than enough points to qualify. The only difference between the bows at camp and mine, was my familiarity with my bow.
I still have that bow, my target, and those arrows today, but I don’t use them anymore. One of the arrows is actually mounted on my bedroom wall, next to my Eagle Scout medal.
I owned and often fired a Finnish M39 rifle which is identical to Häyä's M28 and must thank you for thesd perfectly accurate sights and sight picture in the video. This is high end stuff. Thank you!
The thing that always amazed me about Simo Hayha was that he no-scoped everything.
"Uhh, but he used an iron sight which also can count as a medium-ranged scope" 🤓🤓🤓
He had his own weapon that had been used for years in hunting and competitions. A familiar weapon and how it hits.
"The Russians put in a lot of effort to try to kill me."
What an honor!

Almost night, a crimson horizon
Painting thousand lakes red
As your army approach form the east
A hunter is switching his prey
All alone, a man with his gun
Wanders into the wild
Tracks you down, you cannot hide
Once he is onto your tail
Enter the night
A flash in the darkness
White Death is heading your way
The fear of his foes
A hero at home
Hundreds will fall by his gun
You're in the sniper's sight
The first kill tonight
Time to die
You're in the bullet's way
The White Death's prey
Say goodbye
After the dawn when morning has broken
Snow once white turned to red
Blood red snow tells what happened last night
A tale of a sniper is born
Snow in his mouth hiding his breath
He is steady at hand
Eye to eye, target in sight
The moment to fire has come
Hundreds of kills
A man and his rifle
Embody the sisu of Finns
Stay out of sight
And cover your head
When he pulls the trigger you're dead
You're in the sniper's sight
The first kill tonight
Time to die
You're in the bullet's way
The White Death's prey
Say goodbye
{Insert guitar solo here}

It's spring 1944 over the oilfields of Romania its a strategic location wich supplies 60 percent of the reichs crude oil and is vital to axis logistics. that's why the allies have it in their sights sworms of b17's are escorted by squadrons of p51 mustangs the catalac of the skies its an epic force but they are not expecting an easy ride as the cries of bandits goes out swarms of bf109's are spotted the p51 desperate tries to protect the slower b17's and a bitter dogfight ensues .a American pilot is going to score a kill on a 109 when another 109 opens up with cannon fire from just 100 yards the mustang doesn't stand a chance there is a an explosion as its last flight ends
The pilot targets and trails another mustang another American plane is sent in flames to the ground. this particular pilot skill is noted by the Americans and eight mustangs team up to scream around him but the German is evading most of the fire with superb maneuvers and hard turns. but being chased in hard battle drinks fuel at an alarming rate .in the cockpit of the 109 a warning light has be going for some time now the german knows he won't make it back to base as the engine starts to splutter he bails out .one of the mustang pilot circles around on what looks like an attack run on the falling pilot but salutes and flashes past. the code of conduct among the knights of the air is not forgotten and in the receiving end of the salute is erich Hartmann the deadliest fighter ace of all time with 352 confirmed victories .

And Simo was so famiiar with his rifle, he was perfect with iron sights. He used his own rifle and knew it extremely well.
"We custom-designed this rifle for you!"
- literally has the single feature he said he prefers less
Bravo finland
He wasn’t actually given a sniper rifle with a scope by the Finnish government. Thats just an assumption in the animation. They left out the scope from his gift rifle. There is picture of him receiving the rifle.
It was a more modern updated rifle on the mosin design with updated sights among other things that the regular army was using (his gift was just a custom accurized sniper version). Simo prefered to use his own older rifle he had purhased from the civil guard almost 20 years earlier as he knew the weapon and its particular idiosyncrazies inside out. Any sniper will tell you that a intimately familiar rifle is more prefered than a slightly improved rifle that you must spend a lot of trigger time to get accustomed to. Especially as you have to make do with service ammo that you are issued and he went straight back to the front lines. When Simo was injured his rifle was lost in the field.
And he was evacuated immediately after being shot. He was initially evaluated as a casualty at the field hospital were he was taken to and subsequantely spotted moving in the casualty line outside the tent. There are many minor discrepancies in the video like that.
@@janalimoff The last the video did mentioned it tho

'Scopes are for casuals'
By: this guy... probably.
Scopes are for 'targets'. No, seriously... Having a scope in a winter landscape is asking to be detected unless you have a very very substantial shield and filter.
*But Red Dot Sights and Ironsights are for Tryhards*
@@RealCadde The detection can be reduced/removed by a mesh/net. But the cold environment will likely cloud up on the scope and even cause ice crystals to form, reducing the accuracy of the scope and causing glare in scope
