This man once killed 505 people in 100 days—and was given a medal for it!

In the winter of 1939, Josef Stalin decided to take as much land as he could from Finland and claim it for the Soviet Union.

Little did he know about Simon Hayha, a man that would make his troops lives miserable. He was a Finnish soldier who wouldn’t allow his country to succumb to Soviet invasion. During the attack, he was able to take down 505 soldiers in 100 days.

The soviets tried bombing the area he was in, sending their own snipers to hunt him, but no one ever caught him. A soviet sniper managed to shot Hayha in the jaw, which sent him into a coma for 11 days.

When he woke up, his Finnish comrades were digging him out of the snow and the Soviets had given up on their war. He lived to the ripe old age of 97.
