You’re his first kill tonight FIRST KILL TONIGHT! Say goodbye, say goodbye SAY GOODBYE! Hundreds will fall by his gun You’re in the sniper’s sight SNIPER’S SIGHT! You’re his first kill tonight FIRST KILL TONIGHT! Say goodbye, say goodbye SAY GOODBYE! White death is coming for you ========= Historic Fact ========== Simo Häyhä, nicknamed “White Death” by the Red Army, was an extremely skilled Finnish marksman. He’s reported as having killed 505 men, the highest record number of confirmed sniper kills in any major war. On the 6th of March 1940, Häyhä was shot in the jaw with an exploding bullet, he woke up on the 13th of March, the day peace was declared. He had to go through 26 surgeries and a new jaw was crafted from a piece of bone taken from his hip. Here are some quotes : “I didn’t feel anything towards the enemy. I just fired and loaded and continued as long as there were enemies” “I just shot every time I saw an enemy. I didn’t care if he was a commander or not.” “I’m a lucky man, I never had dreams about the war. I’ve always slept well, during the war too.” “I did what I was told to as well as I could.” When asked how he became such a good shooter, he answered: “Practice.” ================================== Sabaton is a registered and protected trademark.
