True GOD of WAR
Friedrich Nietzsche
Hello, today we will start with introducing some not too much famous people who change history on their way.
First man is Simo Häyhä. ( December 17, 1905 – April 1, 2002), nicknamed "White Death" (Russian: Белая смерть, Belaya Smert; Finnish: valkoinen kuolema; Swedish: den vita döden) by the Red Army, was a Finnish sniper. Using a modified Mosin–Nagant in the Winter War, he has the highest recorded number of confirmed sniper kills – 505 – in any major war.Furthermore, he has a total confirmed kill record of at least 705, as he is credited for at least 200 more kills with a Suomi 9mm submachine gun. All of these kills occurred within 100 days
Winter war service
During the Winter War (1939–1940) between Finland and the Soviet Union, Häyhä served as a sniper for the Finnish Army against the Red Army in the 6th Company of JR 34 on the Kollaa River. In temperatures between −40 °C (−40 °F) and −20 °C (−4 °F), dressed completely in white camouflage, Häyhä was credited with 705 confirmed kills of Soviet soldiers.
A daily account of the kills at Kollaa was made for the Finnish snipers. Remarkably, all of Häyhä's kills were accomplished in fewer than 100 days – in other words, an average of at least seven kills per day – at a time of year with very few hours of daylight.
Häyhä used a Finnish militia variant of the Russian-made Mosin-Nagant rifle, the White Guard M/28-30 "Pystykorva" (literally Spitz, due to the sight's resemblance) chambered in 7.62x54R, the Finnish Mosin-Nagant cartridge, because it suited his small frame (5 ft 3 in/1.60 m). He preferred to use iron sights rather than telescopic sights to present a smaller target for the enemy (a sniper must raise his head higher when using a telescopic sight), to increase accuracy (a telescopic sight's glass can fog up easily in cold weather), and to aid in concealment (sunlight glare in telescopic sight lenses can reveal a sniper's position).
The Soviets tried several ploys to get rid of Häyhä, including counter-snipers and artillery strikes. On March 6, 1940, Häyhä was shot in his lower left jaw by a Russian soldier during combat. The bullet had an explosive charge which blew off his lower left cheek. He was picked up by fellow soldiers who said "half his cheek was missing", but he was not dea
😛he regained consciousness on March 13, the day peace was declared. Shortly after the war, Häyhä was promoted from Alikersantti (Corporal) to Vänrikki (Second Lieutenant) by Field Marshal Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim. No one else has gained rank so quickly in Finland's military history.
Later life
It took several years for Häyhä to recuperate from his wound. The bullet had crushed his jaw and blown off his left cheek. Nonetheless, he made a full recovery and became a successful moose hunter and dog breeder after World War II, and hunted with Finnish President Urho Kekkonen.
How deadly was that man when Soviet tried to kill him with artilery?
The Swedish power metal band Sabaton recorded and released a song called "White Death" in honour of Häyhä and his achievements as a sniper in their studio album Coat of Arms.

nema na cemu i svako dobro 🙂 tek sam poceo sa istorijskim i filozofskim tekstovima 🙂
vrh! kip it kaming 🙂 jos ako ti ne bude tesko da mi posaljes ingame kad objavis novi. malo cu manje biti aktivan, pa da ne propustim. sat dva erepa pred spavanje je sjajna stvar 🙂
nema probelam.. svakako cu ti poslati 🙂 svakih par dana cu nekoga ubacivati u clanak tj pokusacu to da uradim, sve zavisi od vremena 🙂
Imo je sigurno više trauma nego što imaju svi srpsko-hrvatsko-bošnjački ratni zločinci zajedno! 😃
ma kakve traume.. on je makar radio sve sto je bilo u njegovoj moci da spreci crvenu hordu da prodre u finsku 🙂 dok su se balkanci klali medjusobno bez razloga 🙂
I to što kažeš, ima onaj događaj kad je ruski general reko finskom da je omjer 100:1 u korist Rusa a ovaj mu odgovori znači da će svaki morat ubit 100 vojnika. Ako im je uistinu ovakav duh, pored Poljaka, likovi sa big cojones. 😃
naravno 😃 pa dovoljno govori podatak da su Rusi pokrenuli artiljeriju da ubiju samo jednog coveka.. sta reci onda o njemu? god of war... 🙂 zbog artiljerijskog ranjavanja vilica mu je otisla u tri lepe ali na kraju i ne izgleda tako lose, to je razlog zbog kojeg je nosio masku stalno kasnije 🙂
pa nije ga artiljerija ostetila nego eksplodirajuci metak od vojnika u borbi. D aje pala granata nebi mu bilo glave a kamoli lijeve vilice
`zabunio sam se dok sam pokusavao ljude da nateram da procitaju uopste...

That last picture is either very depixelled from the right side or simply that man was extremely ugly and disgusting! You tell me?
