My name is Simo Häyhä. They call me The White Death. This is the true story of my life as a sniper in the Finnish army as I fought against the invasion by the Soviet Union’s Red Army during World War II.
Simo Häyhä, who was born in Finland near the Russian border, is easily in the top list of most skilled and effective snipers of all time. He took on tremendous odds and great challenges, striking fear into the hearts of his enemies and winning the acclaim of his countryman. What made him one of the very best? Find out in this original full episode of I Am. This video is based on true real life events.

The team and I are taking a much-needed vacation for a few days, so please enjoy these videos that we LOVED making for the I AM channel, that we wish more people had seen.
Let me know what you think and if you feel like we should bring this style back. Much love from me (The Infographics Show 'Guy') and everyone on the team!
These are the kinds of stories I wish my schools taught me.
The guidelines feature is very cool.
Woah the info's animation's just turned into a whole nother level!
What the heck I swear I’ve seen this released like for a year now
Great story…!! Loved it…
What a legend
weee
0:48 Freddie Mercury, that you?🤣
He didnt wake up the day the war ended, the war ended the day he woke up.
i RESPECT THAT MAN
that is not a finnish accent
Only real fans know this is a repost from i am channel
Ok this is my new favorite content you guys are making. This would be cool as a live action show
This looks and sounds different 🤔🤔
"After his wounding, Häyhä wanted to serve in the Continuation War (1941–44) as well. However, he was not allowed to because the injuries to his face were so severe."
Is this video lying or Wikipedia?
Protip: Depicting the Finnish accent even close to Russian is insulting. Other than that, good job.
well hes my new role model
He's an Maschine of Death
The real Deadshot.
If simo got to use modern equipment, he would’ve won the war all By himself. No one would’ve had any officers.
If the war was a game he would be accused of cheating having a 500 KDA confirmed and probably even more unconfirmed kills as only witnessed kills are recorded
Fist comett
Epic
This is a ripof from one of I Am vidios
Could they give their enemy a cooler name?
I’ve been sniping various creatures every year for the past 20 years but for some reason they all carry bags of candy
This is some beautiful work
Y love the russian accent
When your sweat level reaches 100
This Was A Very Entertaining And Useful Video To Watch. Well Done. ^^
Amazing true story. Just too bad that there will probably never be any American movie about him. He sounds almost too good to be true. Almost. He sounds like he was a good man.

I enjoyed the 'I Am' series.
I'm also interested in the music used in this video. Where can I download the background music?
I've always been interested in the journey of one soldier in wars, the individual stories they can tell is what I enjoy, developed this interest through videogames.
I was confused because I watched this already and thought I was having Deja Vu or something
Isn't this a reupload?
Anyway, awesome video for Simo.
I like the artstile
"scope is for noobs"
-white death
this man had accuracy patience resilience Intelligence Vision and speed. This man got way more ten 500 kills
This reminds me of the channel I am
Edit: Saw the pinned comment
Oui
Isnt that huntet voicing
I’d definitely watch a movie based on this legendary marksman
Greetings from Finland!🤗
When I read the title, I was sure this has to be about Simo Hãyhã.
