Simo Hayha was a Finnish sniper during the Winter War between Finland and the Soviet Union which also took place during World War II. The Red Army was so scared of him that they nick-named him White Death as he is believed to have killed 505 soldiers. The Soviets went to great efforts to destroy him, and they managed to severely injure him in the face. He recovered, and eventually died in 2002 at the age of 96.
