The White Death, Simo Häyhä, was mocked for using an "iron sight" rifle until he hit 500 targets in the snow during the Winter War. When the Soviet Ninth Army marched into Finland, officers laughed at the small farmer clutching an outdated Mosin-Nagant. They demanded he use a modern scope; Häyhä refused. He knew that in the minus-40-degree hell of the Finnish winter, technology was a trap. While other snipers struggled with fogged lenses and high profiles, Häyhä became a "ghost" who needed nothing but his eyes and his iron sights to wreak havoc on the invading force.
In 1939, the Soviets had tanks and artillery. Finland had Sisu—and Simo Häyhä. He didn't just outshoot the enemy; he outsmarted them. By packing snow in his mouth to hide his breath and freezing the ground to hide his muzzle blast, he turned the frozen landscape into his ally.
