In Finland’s 1938 “Winter War”, in which they defeated the Russian army, one farmer was credited with killing 500 Russians.

1939-1940. The Winter War. The sniper was named Simo Hayha. And he used iron sights. That was some good shooting.

I believe his name was Simo Hayha. He was sniper during the 1938 Finnish-Russo War.
