En novembre 1939, l'Union soviétique envahit la Finlande, déclenchant ainsi un chapitre de 105 jours qui va rester dans l'histoire sous le nom de Guerre d'Hiver. Une invasion stratégique en pleine "drôle de guerre" à la quelle la Finlande, malgré sa taille et ses ressources limitées, va farouchement résister, notamment grâce à un homme, devenu héros et mythe: le sniper Simo Häyhä. Olivier Norek raconte au micro de Cindya Izzarelli son histoire dans "les guerriers de l'hiver" (Ed. Lafon), un ouvrage à la lisière de la novélisation historique et de la reconstitution de papier...

Présent sur les premières listes de plusieurs grands prix de l'automne, le nouveau roman d'Olivier Norek tranche avec la fibre policière de l'auteur français: en relatant le parcours de Simo Häyhä, tireur d'élite finlandais et héros de la Guerre d'hiver, le romancier brosse un tableau historique fascinant sur un épisode relativement méconnu de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Par Catherine Fattebert
Olivier Norek a publié Les Guerriers de l'hiver en août 2024 aux éditions Michel Lafon. C'est un roman historique sur un épisode assez peu connu : l'invasion de la Finlande par la Russie, à la fin de l'année 1939. Un enjeu de taille pour Staline qui ne veut pas que l'armée allemande arrive aux portes des pays nordiques. Le conflit semble déséquilibré et, pourtant, la petite nation résiste vaillamment, pendant trois mois, avant de capituler. L'auteur suit alors un tireur d'élite, Simo Häyhä, surnommé «La Mort Blanche» par les Russes.Dans ce nouvel épisode du Moment des Livres, Bruno Corty, rédacteur en chef au Figaro littéraire, reçoit Olivier Norek pour parler de son nouveau roman, qui se trouve dans les sélections du prix Goncourt et du Renaudot.Vous pouvez retrouver Le moment des Livres sur Figaro Radio, le site du Figaro et toutes les plateformes d'écoute.

L'écrivain et scénariste français, ancien capitaine de police judiciaire Olivier Norek est notre invité pour son roman "Les Guerriers de l'hiver" (Michel Lafon). Lorsqu'en 1939, à la veille de Noël, l'Union soviétique de 180 millions d'habitants décide d'envahir la Finlande de 3 millions d'âmes, elle ne se doute pas que ce conflit, qui n'aurait dû durer que quelques jours, l'entraînera dans l'un des affrontements les plus rudes de son histoire. Si rude et si honteux qu'il en a même disparu des manuels scolaires russes. La Finlande, qu'ils pensaient si faible, va se révéler une adversaire redoutable, avec pour alliés sa nature inhospitalière et son climat inamical atteignant les - 50 degrés. Fermiers et ouvriers devenus soldats, épouses devenues infirmières, messagères ou opératrices radio, les Finlandais défendront leur terre, leur patrie et leur famille, et parmi eux va naître une légende. Simo Häyhä, le plus grand sniper de l'Histoire. Un jeune homme amoureux de la nature et de sa forêt que rien ne prédestinait à tuer, mais dont le simple surnom, « la Mort Blanche », fera trembler et même reculer des troupes russes entières. La bravoure et l'audace de ces « guerriers de l'hiver » seront telles que l'auteur, pour les raconter, pour écrire ces moments épiques que même le cinéma n'oserait imaginer dans leur grandeur et leur horreur, prévient qu'il rien n'a été inventé… À partir de 16h00, Jérôme Colin et ses chroniqueurs vous offrent toute l'actualité culturelle : cinéma, musique, littérature, théâtre… Toujours avec une touche d'humour. Après Bagarre dans la Discothèque, le jeu musical décalé, Jérôme reçoit un grand invité et, dans la dernière demi-heure, avec Hélène Maquet, Julie Morelle et les chroniqueurs, ils vous emmènent dans la bonne humeur vers la nouvelle émission d'info de fin de journée. 1h30 de plaisir intelligent.

Simo Häyhä, valkoinen kuolema ja Kollaan sankari on kaikkien aikojen tappavin ja ehkä legendaarisin tarkka-ampuja. Tässä jaksossa käydään läpi Häyhän elämää, hänen lyhyttä mutta ennätyksellisen tehokasta sotilas uraansa ja Kollaan hyytävän rintaman tapahtumia. Tämä jakso ei pidempiä esittelyjä kaipaa joten kipin kapin kuuntelemaan! Jakso on toteutettu Kaatuneiden muistosäätiön ja turvallisuuden tukisäätiön avustuksella.
Simo Häyhä tormented Soviet forces invading his native Finland between December 1939 and March 1940, killing 542 enemy soldiers in only 98 days. In the hostile, minus forty degree conditions of the Finnish winter of 1939-40, a man clad all in white lay with packed snow mounded in front of him as he awaited his enemy. The man was Simo Häyhä and he was armed with only a regulation, bolt action rifle – he preferred the standard sight as it could not fog over or catch the light and was less conspicuous than a telescopic sight. Next to him lay his sub-machinegun and he was no less deadly with that weapon. During the Winter War, Häyhä accurate sniper fire would account for almost an entire battalion of Russian soldiers.

www.patreon.com/themidnighttrainpodcast Simo Hayha Let's talk about Finland officially called the Republic of Finland. The country's name was said to be found on three runestones. has about 168,000 lakes and 179,000 islands. Helsinki is capital As for weather, In Helsinki, the summers are comfortable and partly cloudy and the winters are long, freezing, snowy, windy, and mostly cloudy. Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from 17°F to 71°F and is rarely below -3°F or above 79°F. Member of the EU 338,455 square kilometres (130,678 sq mi) with a population of 5.5 million people. Helsinki is capital According to an American study, an average of 7,000 rifle-caliber shots were required to achieve one combat kill during the First World War. During the Vietnam War this number had increased to more than 25,000. So, for Simo Häyhä's more than 505 kills, more than 13,550,000 bullets would have been needed in Vietnam. Simo Was born December 17th, 1905 In the Kiiskinen hamlet of the Rautjärvi, Viipuri Province, In southern Finland. Not far from the Russian border. His father, Juho Häyhä, was the owner of the Mattila farm while Simo's mother, Katriina was known as a “loving and hard-working farmer's wife”. He was the the second youngest of eight children, Went to school in the village of Miettilä in Kivennapa parish Working on his family's farm and hunting in the Finnish wilderness made him tough, yet very patient. Built his own farm along with his eldest brother. Proficient farmer, hunter, and skier. At 17, Simo joined the Finnish voluntary Militia Civil Guard, kind of like the National Guard in the US. Was only 5' 3” Was great at marksmanship and won several shooting competitions, having many trophies and awards in his home. Was a shy guy that wasn't a big fan of the spotlight At 19, Simo started a 15 month mandatory military service, called Conscription, in the Bicycle Battalion 2 in Raivola. He didn't even start sniper training until he was 20. Simo was supposedly able to estimate distances up to 150 meters (500 ft) within 1 meter or 3.3 ft. That's over 1 and a half football fields in length. An author that wrote about Simo said that he once hit a target 16 times from 150 meters away in only one minute. “This was an unbelievable accomplishment with a bolt action rifle, considering that each cartridge had to be manually fed with a fixed magazine that held together five cartridges.” That's insane. Simo went back to his farm until the invasion happened. THE WAR The Soviets didn't trust Germany and wanted a buffer zone. In the autumn of 1939, the Soviet Union demanded that Finland move their border back 25 kilometers from Leningrad. The Finnish government refused. The Soviet Union staged an incident at the border, using it as an excuse to attack Finland. This started the Winter War. Stalin sent over 750,000 Russian soldiers to invade Finland. Finland's army had only 300,000, a few tanks and just over 100 aircraft. Russia had almost 6000 tanks and over 3000 aircraft. Stalin thought Finland would be a pushover. He was wrong. Simo was called up. He pulled out his old gun, joined the Finnish army and entered the Winter War between 1939 and 1940. This war was between Finland and Russia and the temperatures were between -40 and -4 degrees Fahrenheit. Simo dressed in all white camo where the Russian troops weren't given any camo, making them easier targets. They wore their standard Green greatcoats. This disorganization was due to Stalin freaking out and killing most of his superior generals, leaving confusion and a lack of leadership. ON A SIDE NOTE The Finns were also smart in their tactics, the most notable of which were known as “Motti”-tactics. Since the Soviets would invade by the roads, the Finns would hide out in the surrounding wilderness. They would then let the invaders cross the border, and attack them from behind. the Finns faced both the 9th and 14th Soviet Armies, and at one point were fighting against as many as 12 divisions - about 160,000 soldiers. Also at one point in the same area, there were only 32 Finns fighting against over 4,000 Soviets The Russian army supposedly gave him the name “white Death”, but some speculation believes it was propaganda created by Finland. Kind of like the new “Ghost Of Kiev”. Russian prisoners claimed that “white death” was referring to how cold it gets in the deepest parts of the forests. The Finnish newspapers used the name and the likeness of an “invisible soldier” to create and proport a hero for the war. He was also called the “magic shooter”. Even rumors that captured Russian soldiers were disappointed to not get to meet Simo. AS A SNIPER All 500 of Simos kills were supposedly done in less than 100 days. That's an average of 5 kills a day. Not a lot of sunlight during this time of the year. On February 17th, 1940 Simo was awarded an honorary rifle. Given by Commander Svensson, for 219 confirmed kills with a rifle and 219 with a submachine gun. December 21, 1939 was his daily high kill count of 25. Army chaplain Rantamaa claims it was more like 542 confirmed kills, starting from the beginning of the war until he was injured Some Finnish documents say he had: 138 sniper kills in 22 days, published on December 22, 1939 199 sniper kills published on January 26th, 1940 219 Sniper kills published on February 17th, 1940 259 Sniper kills (40 in 18 days) published on March 7th, 1940 In Simo's memoirs found in 2017, he had a “sin list” that claims around 500 kills. Finnish historian Marjomaa claims the number to be like “more than 200 kills” due to the absence of bodies and the use of the press's propaganda. Still a lot. Simo's gun of choice was his SAKO M/28-30, a Finnish version of a Mosin-Nagant, known as “The Spitz” because of its front sights resembling the head of a dog. Also, a popular bolt action rifle in the video game, Call of Duty. Simo liked iron sights, not scopes. He claimed that he could keep his head lower and it gave him a smaller target. Iron sights were dependable where scopes could fog up in cold weather and made the gun easier to hide. Not to mention the reflection of light from the scope's lens could show enemies where the sniper was positioned. Simo knew how cold it could be out there so he dressed for the weather wearing multiple layers. This meant he could stay out in the cold longer, waiting for his attack or to wait after. He kept sugar and bread in his pockets. He would eat them for calories to help keep him warm. Unlike most snipers, Simo didn't fire from the prone position; he preferred sitting up. Being shorter helped him as he hid from enemies. He would go out at night, improve his favorite shooting positions, and perform meticulous maintenance on his rifle so that it would never jam, especially in the cold conditions. He would head to his spot for the day before sunrise and stay there until after the sun had set. Daylight only lasted for roughly 3 hours a day. Simo would pile the snow or pour water on it in a way that the blast from his barrel wouldn't disturb the snow in front of him and even kept snow in his mouth to keep his breath from showing the enemy where he was. He'd place his gloves on the snow and his rifle on top of them to lessen the recoil. In the early days of the fighting, a Soviet sniper had killed three junior platoon leaders and an NCO. Simo's platoon leader told him to take out the sniper. As the sun was setting, the Soviet sniper carelessly abandoned his position. As he did, the sunlight glinted off his sniper scope. Simo put a round through his face. Later another Soviet sniper kept Häyhä's unit pinned down. Again, Simo was called upon and began to search for his target. Using another Finnish lieutenant as a spotter, he took the Soviet sniper out with a single shot from 400 meters. Simo told a writer that snipers didn't aim for headshots. “The head is a small size compared to the torso and for that reason, I always fired at the center of the torso. Shooting an enemy should only be done so when the probability of killing the enemy is at its highest, and if aiming at his head, a slight misjudgment leads to a miss which can give away your position with no gain taken.” WOUNDED Russia ordered counter snipers and artillery missions to SPECIFICALLY take out Simo. Most failed. Simo was almost killed on March 6th, 1940. Shot in the face by an explosive, incendiary round, which explodes on impact. Hit his lower left jaw, removing his upper jaw, most of his lower jaw and most of his left cheek. Russians thought he was dead and threw him on a pile of bodies. Finnish soldiers went looking for him and noticed a leg twitching in the pile of bodies. The soldiers took him to get help and said “half his face was missing.” Rumors of Simo's death were everywhere. One week later, he regained consciousness. The day that peace was declared. The Finnish Army was exhausted, its ammunition nearly out, and its defensive lines close to being overrun. So, Finland was forced to sign the Treaty of Moscow on March 12, 1940. Under the treaty, it ceded 11 percent of its territory to the Soviet Union, more than the Soviets demanded prior to the start of the conflict. Took him over 14 months to recover after 26 surgeries. Saw a story about his death in a newspaper. He sent them a letter saying he was alive. After recovery, he wanted to go back out to fight but wasn't permitted. AWARDS Simo received the first and second class medals of liberty. And The Kollaa fighters medal Was promoted from the lowest ranked non commissioned officer (yes, that was his rank while he did all of this) to First military rank of an officer. Nominated as a Knight of the Mannerheim Cross, which is considered the greatest Finnish Military honor. Was given his own farm in southeastern Finland. Fittingly, it was located near the Russian border. Probably to remind them of what he did last time. AFTER THE WAR Became a successful moose hunter and dog breeder. Received death threats from people who thought what he accomplished was wrong. Never talked about the war or what he had been through. When asked how he became such a bad ass his response was, “practice.” When asked if had any remorse he said, “"I did what I was told to do, as well as I could. There would be no Finland unless everyone else had done the same". Simo died in 2002 at the age of 96 while living in a war veterans nursing home. He never married or had children. Nobody in history has ever been credited with more confirmed kills than Simo Häyhä. OH AND BY THE WAY. Despite gaining around 22,000 square miles of Finnish land, the Soviets lost the Winter War with most of their troops having been killed by the defending Finns. A Russian general later remarked that the land they had conquered was “just enough to bury their dead”. https://knowledgeeager.com/best-sniper-movies/

Despite the overwhelming numerical and military advantage, the Soviets were unable to advance very far and suffered heavy losses. One man, in particular, was responsible for many of those losses and single-handedly wreaked havoc on the invading forces.

Simo Häyhä : Le plus grand tireur d'élite de l'histoire
Hoy en la Terra Ignota nos visita un gran amigo de Jürgen. Con 18 años, Pablo voló de Paraguay a la tierra de su bisabuelo para enrolarse por 9 meses en el servicio militar finlandés. Sobrevolando 12 000 kilómetros y pasando del verano sudamericano al más pleno invierno nórdico, Pablo llegó en mangas de camisa un 7 de enero a Helsinki. Nueve meses de servicio militar en uno de los ejércitos más eficientes del mundo: prácticas de tiro, aprender el vocabulario básico para defenderse en el día a día cuartelario, asaltar búnkeres practicando estrategia de guerra en ciudad... Siempre con la mirada puesta en Rusia, vecino del país de los renos con el que las relaciones son, en ocasiones, complicadas. ¿Simo Häyhä? Sí, y mucho más. Bienvenidos a la Terra Ignota.

“Simo Häyhä” was a fearless Finnish military sniper known as the “White Death” during the 1939-40 Winter War between Finland and the Soviet Union. - Estimations vary, but Simo Hayha has been attributed between 300-800 kills during a 100-day period, while fighting on the frontlines in the harsh, frozen (-20 to -40 Celsius), Finnish terrain. - Simo Häyhä NEVER used a scope when sniping (wtf!?) and employed a set of unique battle techniques and mindsets in order to maximize his ability to defend Finland. - The Red Army severely outnumbered the Finns during the Winter War and relied on sheer expendable bodies to overwhelm the Finnish army. However, what the Finns lacked in numbers, they made up for in spirit and adept understanding of their unique territory. - Although the Finns ultimately “lost” the Winter War, they put a massive dent in The Red Army – the Soviets lost between 138,000 to 168,000 men, while the Finns lost 25,904. - Due to this, the Winter War played a major role in the fall of Nazi Germany as it led Hitler to believe the Soviet Union was weaker than they actually were (i.e., if Finland could stand up to The Red Army, Germany MUST be able to…). Germany later ended up spreading their resources thin when they attacked the Soviet Union, having to fight a war on both sides, contributing to their defeat. - This is a story about a true champion among men. Simo Häyhä represents the mastery that is within all of us. He represents the ability to draw massive strength from within and stand up to a giant despite overwhelming odds. He is the embodiment of raw practice and training that leads to skills with unexpected consequences. We should always seek to do our best, like Simo Häyhä, you never know when your best will change the world. - This topic was a pleasure to research and discuss. - What say you? #winterwar #sniper #hero
This week, we tell the story of the Finnish War hero, Simo Häyhä, also known as The White Death! Simo Häyhä was the legendary Finnish War hero, who served his country during the 1939-1940 conflict known as the Winter War against the former Soviet Union. Simo served a total of 98 days with 6th Battalion, Infantry Regiment 34 amassing over 500 kills. The war itself lasted 105 days, but Simo was wounded by an exploding bullet and hospitalized during the last week of the war. Simo's nickname was The White Death of the Winter War, a nickname given to him by the Russians.
Similar to the episode I did on Jim Thorpe, this week's episode is going to be on a specific person from history. But instead of one of the most influential athletes of the 20th Century... this episode is about Simo Häyhä, the deadliest sniper of the 20th Century. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/zebmc/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/zebmc/support
Onze held van deze week komt uit de koude bossen van Finland. Deze onverschrokken en uitermate getalenteerde jager gebruikte wat hij goed kon wanneer zijn land hem het meest nodig had. Want de Russen kwamen. Met veel. En ze kwamen niet om handen te schudden en de Horovod te dansen. Gelukkig was daar Simo, verscholen tussen het sneeuw en de bomen.

On March 13th, 2020, Finland commemorated the 80th Anniversary of the end of the Winter War. Why is the legacy of the Winter War so important to modern-day Finland? What were at the time Americans' perspectives on the War between Finland and the Soviet Union? Listen to learn more, and remember to check out further reading materials linked below. In late 2019, the Embassy of Finland hosted a seminar and panel discussion on the Winter War, where we were able to talk to both Finnish and American experts on the topic. The first part of this episode focuses on Finnish perspectives on the war, and the second part explores American points of view on the Winter War. Interviewees: Professor Kimmo Rentola, University of Helsinki Colonel Petteri Seppälä, Defense, Military, Naval and Air Attaché of Finland for the United States and Canada Professor Stephen Kotkin, Princeton University David W.

I dag snakker Per og Henrik om Vinterkrigen. Dette var en krig som ble utkjempet mellom Finland og Sovietunionen fra 30. november 1939 til 13. mars 1940. Hensikten med denne krigen var at Sovietunionen under Josef Stalins ledelse skulle ta Finland, noe de ikke fikk til på grunn av for svake bakkestyrker. En som fikk en plass i historiebøkene under Vinterkrigen var Simo Häyhä (15.12.1905 - 01.04.2002 best kjent som "The White Death"). DEtte kallenavnet fikk han fordi han var kledd i hvitt kammeflasjetøy og fordi han drepte mellom 500 og 542 soldater i den røde arme. I neste uke snakker Per og Henrik om Vaffeldagen, så heng med!-------------Today, Per and Henrik talk about the Winter War. This was a war between Finland and the Soviet Union from November 30, 1939 to March 13, 1940. The war`s purpose was for the Soviet to conquer Finland under Josef Stalin`s leadership, which they did not accomplish due to weak ground forces. One that got a place in the history books during the Winter War was Simo Häyhä (15.12.1905 - 01.04.2002 best known as "The White Death"). He was given this nickname because he was dressed in a white camouflage uniform and because he killed between 500 and 542 soldiers in the Red Arms. Next week Per and Henrik talk about Waffle Day, so, stay tuned!

Welcome back to the latest episode of tom foolery from the Nerds, we have another amazing showing for you this week. Starting off we have Buck telling us about Spaceport America and how Virgin Galactic has moved in and is closer to carrying passengers into space. So get those cheque books out, prepare to sell a kidney because tickets are $250,000 each. But you will need to wait in line as 600 are already sold. But hey, at least this will be a much more comfortable ride then that of Laika, the dog kidnapped from the streets of Moscow and sent into space all those years ago. This has got to be one of the coolest joy flights out there (when it finally gets airborne). Next up the Professor brings us news about Steam becoming strict in relation to release dates. That’s right folks, no longer can dodgy developer’s use Steam’s coming soon feature as free advertising. No, Steam has come out with the metaphysical switch and spanked those fiendish louts for being such naughty children. From now on if the release date needs to be changed you need to listen in to find out exactly what happens. What, you thought we would tell you everything here? Come of it, we tell you in the podcast so listen in. Then we have DJ looking into The Boys the new show from Amazon. This show is being advertised as the most successful show ever, which is saying something as they have a number of great shows. The premise of the show is a battle between the Heroes and a group fighting to bring them down. Buck gives us a heads up that one superhero dies during season one, but not how. All we know is that it is a crappy way to die. DJ is excited about the rise of indie comics and the refreshing change that is happening by using these for content rather than just relying Marvel and DC for superheroes. Want to know more? So do we, listen in and tell us what you think. We look at the games the Nerds are playing and have some discussion around them, with some interesting facts coming out. We know, sorry for educating you with random facts against your will. As normal we have the shout outs, remembrances, birthdays, and events of interest for the week, or do we? You will need to open the show and listen in to find out, also why this metaphysical question is asked. Anyway, please remember to take care of yourselves, look out for each other and stay hydrated.EPISODE NOTES:Spaceport America - https://phys.org/news/2019-08-virgin-galactic-unveiling-mission-space.htmlChanges to Steam release date system - https://www.pcgamesn.com/steam-release-date-coming-soonThe Boys and the rise of the indie comics in screen media - https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a28666172/the-boys-amazon-most-successful-shows/Games currently playingBuck– Company of heroes 2 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/231430/Company_of_Heroes_2/Professor- Zombicide: Invader - https://cmon.com/product/zombicide/zombicide-invaderDJ– Red Dead Redemption 2 - https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption2/Other topics discussedBranson thinks Trump is not a real billionaire- https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/richard-branson-scathing-letter-president-donald-trump-virgin-billionaire-a7975706.htmlLaika (Soviet space dog to orbit the Earth.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laika2014 Virgin Galactic crash- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VSS_Enterprise_crashSuccessful Virgin Galactic after the 2014 Virgin Galactic crash- https://www.engadget.com/2018/04/05/virgin-galactic-spaceshiptwo-powered-flight-test/Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird (Mach 3+strategic reconnaissance aircraft)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_SR-71_BlackbirdVirgin Galactic Purpose statement- https://www.virgingalactic.com/purpose/On August 13, 2019, NASA at the Trident Basin in Cape Canaveral, Florida, astronauts Doug Hurley, left, and Bob Behnken work with teams from NASA and SpaceX to rehearse crew extraction from SpaceX’s Crew Dragon, which will be used to carry humans to the International Space Station.

The expedition's goal, which it accomplished, was to find a western route to the Moluccas (Spice Islands). Magellan left Spain on 20 September 1519, sailed across the Atlantic, and discovered the strait that bears his name, allowing him to pass through South America into the Pacific Ocean (which he named). The fleet crossed the Pacific, stopping in the Philippines, and eventually reached the Moluccas after two years.

Renowned as the "Father of Railways", Stephenson was considered by the Victorians a great example of diligent application and thirst for improvement. Self-help advocate Samuel Smiles particularly praised his achievements. His chosen rail gauge, sometimes called 'Stephenson gauge', was the basis for the 4 feet 8 1⁄2 inches (1,435 mm) standard gauge used by most of the world's railways. Pioneered by Stephenson, rail transport was one of the most important technological inventions of the 19th century and a key component of the Industrial Revolution. He died from pleurisy at the age of 67 in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Stephenson12 Aug 1914 - John Phillip Holland, Irish engineer who developed the first submarine to be formally commissioned by the US Navy, and the first Royal Navy submarine, Holland 1. This was the first submarine having power to run submerged for any considerable distance, and the first to combine electric motors for submerged travel and gasoline engines for use on the surface. He died from pneumonia at age of 72 inNewark, New Jersey. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Philip_Holland12 Aug 1955 - James B. Sumner, American chemist. He discovered that enzymes can be crystallized, for which he shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1946 with John Howard Northrop and Wendell Meredith Stanley. He was also the first to prove that enzymes are proteins. He died from cancer at the age of 67 in Buffalo, New York. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_B._SumnerFamous Birthdays12 Aug 1887 - Erwin Schrödinger, Nobel Prize-winning Austrian physicist who developed a number of fundamental results in the field of quantum theory: the Schrödinger equation provides a way to calculate the wave function of a system and how it changes dynamically in time. In addition, he was the author of many works in various fields of physics: statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, physics of dielectrics, colour theory, electrodynamics,general relativity, and cosmology, and he made several attempts to construct a unified field theory.

The Pop Quiz returns for a much lighter, more fun episode (or fun recounting for Molly, at least) of the third episode of History Impossible, the story of Simo Häyhä, the White Death, the Magic Shooter. Give this quiz a listen to see how Molly manages to find such a cold-blooded bad-ass mass-killer so "cute", manage to call him a butt-face, and still be in awe of his accomplishments and monk-like temperament. Also make sure to sympathize with Mr. von Sternberg as his patience is eternally tried by puns and silliness coming from his history-phobic significant other. So fix yourself a nice drink, kick back, and listen to two amateurs attempt to dissect the deeper meanings behind the man--the phenomenon--known as The White Death.
Angry Birds on yksi Suomen tunnetuimmista brändeistä maailmalla. Huiman maailmanvalloituksen tehnyt mobiilipeli täyttää komeat 10 vuotta. Tänäkin päivänä jatkuvan kansainvälisen menestyksen tae on ollut brändin vieminen lukuisiin muihin kuluttajatuotteisiin ja viihdeformaatteihin. Elokuussa teattereihin saapuu Angry Birds -elokuvan jatko-osa, jonka lisensointiohjelmaa on rakennettu brändilisensöinnistä vastaavan johtajan Simo Hämäläisen johdolla pari vuotta. Roviota voi hyvällä syyllä pitää Suomen lisensöintibisneksen pioneerina, jossa alan osaamista on viety kansainväliselle tasolle. Tässä jaksossa Hämäläinen paljastaa, miten Angry Birds luo nahkansa uudestaan ja pitää yllä vetovoimaansa. Lisäksi hän kertoo, miten 5G ja 3D-printtaaminen muovaavat Rovion bisnestä ja miten yritys pitää tuoteväärennökset kurissa ympäri maailman.
Simo Häyhä was the greatest sniper that ever lived. Using only iron sights and the normal equipment of the Finnish soldier in the Russo-Finnish Winter War, he carried out a 90-day reign of terror on the Soviet invaders of his homeland. They called him “The White Death.” He had over 200 confirmed kills. He gave… Continue reading Simo Hayha – the Greatest Sniper of all Time /// 28
VANLIG EPISODE - November, 1939. Sovjetunionen angriper Finland. I opp mot 40 kuldegrader står Finnene ovenfor det som kan virke som en umulig oppgave, når de skal holde stand mot en fiende som utklasser dem i antall soldater, tanks og militærfly. Finnenes evne til å utnytte terreng, kjennskap til geografi og værforhold, banet vei for en innbitt og uventet sterk motstander for Sovjetunionen. Her stod en uventet helt frem, en bondegutt ved navn Simo Häyhä, som i dag blir sett på som tidenes dødeligste snikskytter etter hans innsats i å forsvare Finland under Vinterkrigen.

In the winter of 1939, a Soviet colossus came bearing down on the small Baltic nation known as Finland, sparking off a 105-day conflict known to history as the Winter War. Facing impossible odds, the Finnish Army did all it could to fight off their Russian invaders, all with the simple goal to remain free from tyranny. During the fighting, one man would set himself apart from the struggle with extraordinary deeds and yet come to symbolize the character of the struggle itself, as well as his nation. Claiming more individual kills in wartime as a sniper, this man, Simo Häyhä came to be known by many names, including the "Magic Shooter" and, according to his terrified and freezing enemies, the "White Death." This is the story of this gifted shooter, the things he accomplished, and how he came to represent the fortitude of a nation who would never trade in their freedom for empty success. Additional music by Moments and Eino Rautavaara.

En el programa de esta semana viajamos hasta 1939, durante los primeros compases de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, para conocer mejor la Guerra de Invierno, también conocida como Guerra Ruso-Finesa, donde el pueblo finlandés defendió su nación frente a una potencia superior, la URSS, protagonizando una de las resistencias más feroces y populares del siglo XX. Los soldados finlandeses dirigidos por el Mariscal Carl Gustaf Emil Von Mannerheim, basaron su estrategia defensiva aprovechando la naturaleza (miles de lagos, infinidad de bosques y capas de hielo que impedían el paso del enemigo), y entre los resistentes destaca la historia de Simo Häyhä, la muerte blanca.

Selle nädala raamat on Tapio A.M. Saarelaineni „Valge snaiper” kirjastuselt Helios. Nagu pealkiri ütleb, on see lugu ühest valges maskeerimisrüüs sõdurist. Kuid Simo Häyhä polnud mitte ainult Talvesõja, vaid kogu sõjaajaloo kuulsamaid snaipreid. Vaid kolme kuuga kogunes talle üle viiesaja surmava tabamuse. Kuul tabab ühte, kuid hirm halvab tuhandeid. Simo Häyhä sai rindemeeste seas kuulsaks juba sõja ajal, nime Valge Surm andsid talle siiski punaarmeelased. Simo Häyhä kavalusi kasutatakse siiani snaiprite koolitamisel. Üheks nipiks oli hoida lund suus, et hingeaur tema asukohta ei reedaks. Tutvustab Küllo Arjakas.
El de hoy será un programa “a tiro limpio”, atrincherados lo mejor que podamos para que nuestros invitados disparen sus balas certeras, cargadas de información, en su afán de ponernos al día sobre quienes fueron los primeros tiradores de élite de la historia, los mejores en su profesión y los que más bajas han causado. En uno de los frentes tenemos a Miguel del Rey y Carlos Canales (autores de “Cazadores de almas”) y por el otro flanco a Juan José Revenga (autor de “La última bala”), que nos hablarán del perfil táctico y psicológico de estos soldados, de su preparación, habilidades y peripecias poniendo ejemplos notables como los de Chris Kyle, Simo Häyha, Carlos Hathcock, Vasily Zaitsev, Craig Harrison… o el de algunas mujeres que también hicieron lo suyo, como la francotiradora ucraniana Pavlichenko. En la Biblioteca hablaremos con Luis Martínez Vallés, el autor de “Basado en hechos reales”, que relata el caso de los francotiradores de Washington, entre otros muchos más. También entrevistaremos a Emilio Ruiz Trueba para que nos anticipe las Jornadas sobre creencias mágicas populares que se celebrarán en el Museo Etnográfico de Castilla y León, en Zamora, y terminaremos con un relato sobre cuánto vale un hombre…

In April of 1938, representatives from the USSR approached the Finnish government and expressed a concern that Nazi Germany could attempt to invade Russia, and such an attack might come through parts of Finland. The Finns replied that they were officially neutral, but any Nazi incursion on Finland’s borders would be resisted. This did not mollify the Soviets. Hitler’s manifesto, Mein Kampf, was published thirteen years previous with specific note that the Nazis would need to invade the Soviet Union. The Red Army was determined to “advance to meet the enemy” and refused to accept promises from the smaller country. As negotiations continued, the Soviets tried to coax Finland into leasing or ceding some area to serve as a buffer to Leningrad. In November 1939, however, all negotiations ceased, and on 30 November 1939 the Soviet Red Army invaded Finland. In the municipality of Rautjärvi near the Soviet/Finnish border, 34-year-old Simo Häyhä was a farmer and hunter leading a flagrantly unexciting life. Upon news of the hostilities, he gathered up food, plain white camouflage, and his iron-sighted SAKO M/28-30--a variant of the Soviet Mosin-Nagant rifle--and went to defend his country. Before the four-month war ended, humble Häyhä would gain infamy among the Russian invaders, and come to be known as the “White Death”.
