    Who will win?

    • 500 newly purged Red Army conscripts?
    • Or one Lutheran farmboy and his Mosin

    All of Häyhä’s kills were accomplished in less than 100 days, an average of five per day at a time of year with very few daylight hours… Häyhä never discussed it publicly, but his own private memoir, discovered in 2017, states a number. He begins by stating that “this is his sin list”, and estimates the total number he shot to be around 500.

    I also used to regularly worry about where we were going to bury all the Russians, until I recently learned the entire biomass of humanity would fit in Central Park and not rise above the surrounding buildings.

    We sure do cause a lot of trouble for how small we are.
