Simo "Simuna" Häyhä; 17 December 1905 – 1 April 2002), nicknamed "White Death" by the Red Army, was a Finnish sniper. Using a Finnish-produced M/28-30 rifle (a variant of the Mosin–Nagant rifle) and the Suomi KP/-31 submachine gun, he is reported by western sources to have killed 505 men during the 1939–40 Winter War, the highest recorded number of sniper kills in any major war. However, Antti Rantama (Häyhä's unit military chaplain), credited only 259 confirmed sniper kills were made by Simo Häyhä during the Winter War. Häyhä wrote in his diary, found in 2017, that he estimated he killed from 100 to over 500 Soviet soldiers (by both sniper rifle and machine/submachine gun).
