1. Simo Hayha- 705 Kills
Simo Häyhä, a Finnish sniper who fought against the Red Army during the Battle of Kollaa, is said to be the best sniper to have ever lived, according to his kill count. His unprecedented tactics gave him an edge over enemy soldiers.
He would dress in all white to blend in with the snow, never used scopes (as the glare may give him away) and even kept snow in his mouth so that his breath would not show. He was named “The White Death” by the Soviet enemies, as he had over 700 kills in total.
His life has been idealized and idolized since his involvement in the war, and to date, there nobody has surpassed him as a sniper.
