In 1939 the Soviet Union invaded Finland. I think it was in December, but I would have to check. Finland objected. It was known as the Winter War, because it only lasted a few months. Simo Häyhä was a farmer in the Finland reserves. Basically their version of the national guard. The video below recounts his story.
This is the Fat Electrician video History's Deadliest Sniper - Simo Häyhä "The White Death" - 542 Kills
I have had at least one post on Simo Häyhä. This post contains some of the same data in the video, and a link to the Sabaton song "The White Death," which is pretty good. The White Death - The Deadliest Sniper in History
