Who will win?

  • 500 newly purged Red Army conscripts?
  • Or one Lutheran farmboy and his Mosin

All of Häyhä's kills were accomplished in less than 100 days, an average of five per day at a time of year with very few daylight hours… Häyhä never discussed it publicly, but his own private memoir, discovered in 2017, states a number. He begins by stating that "this is his sin list", and estimates the total number he shot to be around 500.
