Yes a great man indeed
It was my honor to meet him twice while in Finland and he was a humble man. http://www.mosinnagant.net/finland/simohayha.asp

He was a outstanding marksman indeed.
How many knows one detail:
He was shot at and half of his face was gone. Presumed dead he was put to a pile of other bodies after the fight. Then somebody saw a foot move or something and they realised he was still alive. Not only after that he was rushed to get first aid. Later several surgeries took place.
He was a really tough fighter. :roll:
