Grigol Dvali, one of my Google+ buddies, on the Thinkers commmunity, alerted me to this extraordinary man. So thank you Grigol.

tumblr_kx74ciBgtf1qadd9gSimo Hayha was a sniper supreme

He shot in conditions very extreme,

It was often minus 40 degrees,

He was dressed in white, he moved on skis,

He killed 505 Russian men,

That is 5 a day, and then

The daylight only lasted hours

But he was set on destroying Russian manpower.

The Russians, amazed at his vicious attack,

Found a sniper to shoot him back,

They shot away half of Simo’s jaw,

But he survived and saw the end of this war,

He rose really fast up through the ranks,

Because his nation wanted to give him thanks.
