Simo Häyhä was a Finnish sniper in the Winter War with Russia 1939 - 1940. He amassed his number of kills over a 100 day period. Throughout this time he was mainly alone hiding in the snow picking off Russian soldiers. He was finally shot by a stray bullet in the jaw, but recovered and lived until 2002. Consider, this man, alone, against a battalion killed an average of 7.05 soldiers a day.
He was also known as the "White Death," and was incredibly skilled. He would do such things as putting snow in his mouth to cool his breath so the Russian soldiers couldn't see his breath in the air.
