”Switching his prey” refers to him, a hunter, joining the army and switching from hunting animals to hunting invading soldiers.

Commie soldiers

[@MrZe0x]

I think most people cannot imagine how gut-wrenchingly horrible northern winter warfare must have been in the extreme cold. Also the Finns are probably the most scary enemy to face in this kinda warfare also! The white death is an amazing story which really shows this to be true. Love ya Finland from ya neighbor country!

[@carlospomares3225]

Waiting for hours is pretty common for modern Snipers. One big difference between him and Snipers in the military today (other than the fact he didn't use a scope) is that Snipers today usually go in pairs of two. One behind the gun the other with "spotting" and keeping lookout.

[@Juhani96]

This might differ from country to country, because nowadays here both in the pair actually shoot.

The man got hit in the face by an explosive bullet, spent weeks in a coma, came back and carried on killing Soviets 😬 During his coma he was also mistakenly declared dead by a Finnish newspaper 😯 He said after that it was quite funny to read his own obituary!

[@MrBanaanipommi]

no. he did not continue killing soviets because winter war ended. also he was rejected by finnish defence forces to continue service due to that hit... later he was awarded by government and given some land

[@yellowpig1026]

@@MrBanaanipommi Actually if i recall he wasn't rejected by finnish defence forces afterwords, he was actually asked to come back to another war going on and he rejected it cause he was only fighting for his homeland and didn't feel like he had any reason to go back into the field

[@karitilsala9297]

the number varies from 505-542, but no one claims that there are less than 505... + some hundreds with suomi submachine gun. this happened in the winter war which lasted 105 days. and yes, still a record number of kills.

[@konstantinkelekhsaev302]

If you believe all of that i have a bridge to sell you

[@Nick-sh9dy]

I'm might be sure about this but he also didn't use a sniper scope and from what I remember about him is that recorded kills is 500 but I might even be more. You should also react to camouflage if you haven't yet its a pretty good song

[@Folian87]

That is true, he felt that the suns reflection in the scope would give him away. That was the way that he won against several snipers that were sent to shoot him, he found their location from the light reflecting in their scopes

[@johndee277]

I saw it in the comments under the actual video Dave is watching, and apparently the original video had a scope. It was caught, the vid was pulled, and now it's what we are seeing.

[@faolanlupus5965]

@@Folian87 yeah, the glass lense on a rifle scope majorly reflects light and that is the top way to spot a sniper and the white death knew this and used his iron sight on his mosin nagant instead

[@TheCMarcel]

I think he also put ice into his mouth so that his breath won't give him away

[@aufmerksamkeitpanzers1525]

It was around 500 with is rife and another 400 with his Suomi smg

[@potatoking3840]

finally. it's an awesome song! and yes hi still holds the record of most sniper kills in any war in history. officially 505 but said to be more

[@11DNA11]

505 is confirmed, but it's probably ALOT more.

[@11DNA11]

505 confirmed sniper kills. In less than a 100 days of war. THAT is the craziest part. At least 5 a day.

[@mrssuvik]

Very nice video bro. I'm from Finland, and here Häyhä is a f'kin legend. Tribute to Sabaton who made this song

[@HeavyMetal1435]

Unofficially, he was said to have over 1k kills. What a legend

[@ShadowBurn666]

His final frag count was over 2,700

[@MrBanaanipommi]

in 110 days...

[@sugibudder]

Sorry to burst your bubble but according to his own memoir or "list of sins" as he called it, he had 505 kills and that includes his kills with a submachine gun. The actually crazy part is how he didnt use a scope and how his rifle was bolt-action. You try killing hundreds of people with a bolt-action rifle without a scope.

[@HeavyMetal1435]

@@sugibudder the fuck you mean "burst my bubble"? That's just what I heard, chill out

[@requiemlul3140]

@@sugibudder Actually, the 505 were with the Sniper. He had 200 with the Submachine gun.

[@ludovica1914]

I was blown away to find out that his number of kills are also within like 9 months of each other? vs years of service by other top snipers! Finns are for sure built different!

[@RavetsU]

Winter war lasted 105 days. He got that record in those 105 days.

[@danielledriffill-shelmidin2098]

For everyone chatting in the comments about the count I highly suggest looking up the video “Sabaton History- White Death”, the channel is great with interviews with the band and historical context 👍🏻

[@seppoharkkonen5766]

In finland we have a saying that 1 finnish man is equal to 10 russians, so 505 confirmed sniper kills already would make him 50,5. and then the other kills.

[@rangeroutdoors3]

Also, my grandfather knew this man, all I was told is that he was loud with friends and quiet when it counted. Granddad was kind of surprised when I asked too.

[@corvusgaming2379]

White Death is about Simo Hayha, a Finnish sniper who has over 500 confirmed kills OF ALL TIME. He ate snow, never used a telescopic sight and would eat the same slice of bread for hours just so he wouldn't be seen. He ate snow to conceal his breath, never used a telescopic sight because the glint of the glass reflecting the Sun would reveal his position and he would eat INCREDIBLY slowly while holed up in the snow so he wouldn't be detected by enemies. A true legend, and he survived. Towards the end of the war he fought in, he sustained a permanent injury to the side of his jaw, which caused him to be unconscious for the last 11 or so days of said war. There was one time where the enemies (I think the Soviets?) had began bombarding his position with artillery, and he just didn't move. Edit: 4:04 Yes, that's correct. He'd stay, lying in a mound of snow for hours and hours on end, still, WAITING for his prey.

[@WurrzagsMorkyMischeif]

A gigantic army made up of hundreds of thousands of men, tanks, artillery, trucks, everything that a modern army had during those times, and they all shivered in fear of a 5 foot farmer with a, even then, decades old Mosin Nagant rifle without a scope

[@sheamus4300]

You’re The Man, Dave ALWAYS!!!

[@samijarvinen6599]

Dave was wondering about spotting snipers in modern warfare. One thing we have to remember about Finland. 2/3 of the country is covered in forest. So you can quite easily hide yourself there with proper clothing with IR cover etc. There isn't such optics developed yet on drones or satellites that can find you. You'll never be found.

[@phurtig9881]

I was so much waiting for this.

[@hownotto4067]

this is an awesome reaction! appreciate the background knowledge you gave us with the lyrics. truly an incredible warrior sniper

[@rmunthe9tahunyanglalu794]

Add "Sabaton - The end of war to end all wars" to the list. One of my fav song of them

[@MrBanaanipommi]

officially he has about 750 kills confirmed, about 250 with SMG called Suomi Kp and 500 kills with his rifle. he did not use scope because it would lift his head up too much and also enemy could detect him by sunlight reflecting from the scope. also he ate snow while shooting enemies stealth so the steam wont let enemy see him. in the end, he said he was done what he was asked as good as he could. nothing more!.

What's good Dave? :) Just found your channel, love seeing people enjoying some Sabaton, but I was going to say dude, your cadence when you speak normally no joke if you aren't already in voice work you could probably get some pretty nice gigs, and that's coming from someone with their 10k hours in vocals and theater, but I just found your channel so you may already have a background in all sorts of cool stuff. Subbed, be safe out there brother.

[@whatitdodave]

I actually don’t do any vocal work haha. I need help getting started because I’m told that I would do well very often.

[@Gaiffari]

im pretty sure when he says switching his prey means the start of the war because he was a hunter. he used his gun to hunt animals to eat and by switching his prey id say he means switching from animals to russians. he was always a hunter but he just switched his prey

You need to factor in the fact that the Finnish government used the white death as a national hero to rally around and much like the Red Baron he became a legendary figure whose exploits have been used as propaganda. Then again the USSR downplayed their losses on all fronts except the pacific which they exaggerated (the soviets were extremely effective in the last days of the pacific front of the war).
