Thanks for the great story and piece of history I would have never known otherwise.

@Hurri:

Great rebuttal of Erkko! And your Viking perspective was a nice ass-kicking conclusion.

Yet another that I somehow missed. Where the heck was I in 2014?

This sniper far outstripped our American sniper.

@Erkko:

Your lies about Finland Swedes should not go uncommented, there has always been a lot of your ugly types, unfortunately. I am one of those you hate, for some reason I never have quite understood, a Finland Swede. The only reason I can think of is that you hate that we have a different mothers tongue, swedish, than you do. Differennt simply, and some just can’t take that.

My grandfathers on both my fathers and mothers side both fought in both the winter war and the continuation war, all through. All my my male relatives that were in adult age in those days fought the wars, some of them died. Don’t you EVER try to blacken the memory of them, they defended their country to their deaths! They gave their lives to the freedom of Finland, so that you can sit there behind your laptop, and on top of it all insult them!

Interesteing that you mention that 3/4 of the 35000 deserters were swedish speaking, and most of them from the Munsala region. How very interesting! I happen to live close by, and the village of Munsala has probably about 500 inhabitants, and never has been much bigger than so. And that ‘region’ isn’t much richer in population either, and never was. So where did all those thousands and thousands of deserters come from? Maybe they weren’t all that swedish speaking after all?

By the way, Finland’s liberator from Russia in 1917, leader of the Whites, and Commander-in-chief during the wars, Carl Gustaf Mannerheim, was a Finland Swede. If you want to check up on Mannerheim: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Gustaf_Emil_Mannerheim

Best Regards
One of those swedish speaking bastards

P.S. Being descendants of the Vikings, we have lived here for over a thousand years, in what now (for a mere 100 years) have been called Finland. And we will certainly not move anywhere just because of some Fenno-racist opinions, did you get that?!

Chris asked about this earlier:
“I have a question. It is said that “21 December 1939 was Häyhä’s personal record for a single day with 25 confirmed Russian kills. Around this time, Häyhä surpassed 500 confirmed kills” and yet until the injury in March the following year he had 505 confirmed kills, including 40 the day of his injury. Something doesn’t add up with these figures and dates. Can you please clarify?”

I believe earlier over 500 was total kills with rifle and smg. Exact 505 were confirmed sniper kills with rifle.

This is one if the best articles I’ve ever read and Simon Whistler’s voice compliments it so much. Please do more on the world wars, it makes me as giddy as a schoolgirl (im a depressed male college student). Keep up the amazing work!
