    The guy fought in the Finnish-Soviet war. Against the Soviets and for the Axis-aligned Finland. Do you think he might be a tiny bit pro-Axis?

          I think you’re confusing Winter War (Finland vs Soviet Union) and Continuation War where Finland was allied with Nazi Germany attacking Soviet Union. That came after. During Winter War Finland wasn’t allied or even aligned with Nazi Germany or anything like that. Simo Häyhä fought just in Winter War.

      Finland wasn’t Axis aligned during Winter War. In fact Nazi Germany hampered Italian attempts to help Finland because it would’ve gone against the Nazi-Soviet Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact that gave Finland to Soviet Union.

      Simo Häyhä only served during the Winter War.
