Sisu in abundance. A true humble finnish warrior with a lot of guts.

The Finns - always good for a tough ass warrior - like Simo, the white death sniper

[Antonio-dqvu]

I am sure the new generation of aviators at that time, had a lot to learn from him!

This is why russia wont mess with finland any more because of Ilmari and Simo häyhä and the winter war and continue war legends

So, all of Finland working with The Axis during the Second World War? He was a great pilot, for a questionable cause.
