I denne ukens episode skal vi gjennom mange spennende temaer; polaroidbildet i Tara Calico-saken, Menendez-brødrene som endelig har fått en STOR oppdatering, P. Diddy rettssaken som nettopp har begynt i New York og ikke minst har Sondre tatt med seg en ny sak til Sondres Utvalgte, som han har gledet seg til å prate om. Saken handler om Simo Häyhä fra Finland, også kalt "The White Death". Han var en krigshelt som i sin tid drepte over 500 motstandere som skarpskytter, og Sondre forklarer ham som en av sine helter! Denne episoden vil du ikke gå glipp av.

In 1910, two trains became stranded in Washington's Cascade Mountains during a record-breaking snowstorm. After six harrowing nights, a massive avalanche swept them off the mountainside — the deadliest avalanche in U.S. history. More than a century later, one question still lingers: could the disaster have been prevented?

We are bringing you the second part of our discussion of tuberculosis. This episode reviews the illness a bit but delves into some of the treatments attempted in the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries. This includes the institutions known as sanitariums (one starting in a cave, strangely enough) where tuberculosis patients (who could afford to) would travel for treatment regimens including routine sunning and fresh air sessions as well as rest and what was deemed as good nutrition. This was also a way to isolate those with the disease to keep them from spreading it. Some of these institutions were not the "health spas" they were made out to be, abusing, neglecting, and experimenting on patients instead. We finally reach the discovery of antibiotics and possible vaccines and cures that were met with both joy and cynicism. Since the first use of these antibiotics, which were miraculous for the time for sure, more have been created to fight the illness more effectively, especially with antibiotic resistant strains becoming a problem. Lets travel through time and revisit the horrors of this illness, the petty disputes and drama of some of the scientists involved in trying to stop it, and the discovery of what worked.

I have wanted to discuss an illness so old and vile, it has made its mark on all of society and culture throughout centuries of its gruesome existence. Tuberculosis was also called the wasting disease, consumption, and the "white death," among other things and has plagued humanity for thousands of years. Lets look at its history and effects on societies and cultures throughout the world and how it finally became recognized as a bacterial infection (a vicious one at that). It eats away at the lungs and beyond as it can affect every organ system of the body and kills gradually. We'll discuss some of the more superstition reasoning for the disease given by earlier societies and the gruesome methods they tried to cure it. We also cannot talk about tuberculosis without mentioning its impact on fashion and beauty standards (yes you read that right) especially among the Victorians. This is too big a topic and too old a disease to not make into two parts! So lets get into it! Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

AS THE DARKNESS CREEPS OVER THE INTERNET, AND THE SILENCE REACHES THE PODCASTS, WE WILL AWAKE AND RISE... Welcome back to the 2024 season of Terminus! Your intrepid hosts have risen from their dreaded tombs once again to provide the world's most crucial critical analysis of extreme metal records. Our first episode of 2024 covers two records from the waning days of 2023 which have received a lot of attention from our fanbase. Flaming Ouroboros has finally dropped their much-anticipated debut full length- is it a new heigh for outlaw rock, or does it slip over the edge in its dangerous dance with emo? In the other corner, the return of Finnish stalwarts White Death- is their sophomore release a powerful return to traditional Finnish black metal, or merely an exercise in self-congratulation? Find out the answers to these questions and more on a new year of TERMINUS! 0:00:00 - Intro 0:04:22 - Flaming Ouroboros - Anthems for Brotherhood (Death Hymns) 0:59:18 - Bronson - “Quelli Come Noi” fr.

This is episode 9 and we're swinging back to the Karelian Isthmus to focus on what was going on through the third week of January 1940. Earlier in the month the disgraced Soviet Leningrad Military district was reformed and renamed the Northwestern Front and Stalin installed Semyon Konstantinovich Timoshenko as the commander. He was a hard man, flinty eyes, shaven head, powerful voice — a tough man for a tough job. Timoshenko was an idealogue but no fool and agreed to lead the Northwestern Front assaults but only if Stalin agreed that he would not be held personally liable for the coming butcher's bill. Cracking the Mannerheim Line along the Isthmus was going to be challenging after more than a month of battles had shown the Finns to be more than a match for the Red Army. Timoshenko's chief of staff was the architect of the Russian victory over the Japanese in Mongolia, Georgi Zhukov. The Leningrad commander Zhdanov was demoted to political commissar of the campaign, without any operational power at all. He had been roundly defeated by the Finns since the start of the Winter War in November 1939 and now his message to the troops on the frontline changed. Previously Russian propaganda had centred around the narrative that the Finnish working class needed saving, now Zhdanov was going to focus on Russian patriotism and pride instead of the drum-beat of party slogans. The country had been shamed in the eyes of the world and needed to redeem itself and the Northwestern Front fighters were going to be at the forefront of this reformed war. When the Red Army returned to the Mannerheim line in early February the men were going to be shouting “For the glory of the Fatherland” not “For Stalin”. While things were looking ominous, there was much for the Finns to savour. One of these was the extraordinary Simo Hayha, the White Death as he became known. He was a sniper, some say the most lethal sniper to have ever lived. He served with the 6th Company 34th infantry regiment and was based on the Kollaa Front. Hayha's confirmed kills of 542 Russians in the space of 100 days has never been eclipsed. He passed the rest of his life hunting and farming, and the White Death died in April 2002 at the age of 97.

So we've been going for two weeks, I was in the ER on new years eve into new years day, I don't really want to get into it but it involved fireworks and a "hold my beer" moment..... not really, but I was in the ER. The following week Nate wasn't feeling well but, I also presented Nate with his Christmas present which he didn't appreciate, but now we're back. This weeks episode is Super Humans, and next week's will be a continuation. This is stories of humans who how done crazy things, like the first story of Daniel Daly who is basically a one many army, and also the second story about Simo Häyhä, also known as White Death, a ridiculous sniper. As always we hope you enjoy the stories and our usual shenanigans. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/arcanumobscura/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/arcanumobscura/support

"The White Death," Simo Hayha was just an ordinary Finnish farmer that somehow ended up recording more confirmed kills than any other sniper in military history. In this episode Ben and Pat discuss how this ordinary dude from Finland became the deadliest soldier ever recorded.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Land of a Thousand Lakes, is the famous moniker for this nation, but there is so much more to this nation than its geographical features. With a history dating back over 5000 years, with many different people groups figuring out how to survive in this frigid tundra. This nation has weathered some of history's must brutal eras from the reign of the Hanseatic League to the Soviet Regime. In recent memory this nation has left a permanent mark in the tech industry, and made its culture a mainstay in European media. This is all without mentioning the legendary "White Death". This is Finland.

It's a bit late - had a great event on Japanese whisky last night!  ----------- How much do you know about Finland? Yep, probably about the same I did. Not much.  Turns out, there's a whole lot to learn. I started, oddly enough, with a well-timed episode of Timesuck learning about the sniper known as the White Death from the Winter War of WW2. Besides a fascinating story, it taught me that Finland is both Nordic and Scandinavian, yet its culture - everything from its mythology/pantheon to its drinking culture - are closer to Germany and Russia than to Sweden or Denmark.  Teerenpeli is a symbol of that identity. Fiercely independent, making whisky where few others are (they're the only active distillery making whisky in Finland!), Teerenpeli is out to prove that Finland has a lot to offer the world whisky community. I think they just might.  Thanks also to previous guest Fred Barnet of Anthem Imports for the introduction!  _________________ Before we jump into the interview just a few quick notes: If you haven't joined the Patreon community yet, please consider doing so! Only 5 Spots Remain in the Barrel Club.

Dave forgot to do his homework. Noah discovers the magic of lighting. Jonny needs to put on a shirt. Nick gives the best nicknames. Stephen talks too much.

Brad Pitt stars in this fast-paced (literally) action comedy from director David Leitch who previously helmed Deadpool 2 and Atomic Blonde.  It almost entirely takes place on a high speed train barreling through Japan which has some antagonistic passengers to say the least.  Among them are a group of assassins who each seem to have different missions but involving the same set of people, mainly a local crime organization lead by the feared gangster White Death.  There's also a valuable suitcase onboard filled with money that every one seems to want and will kill for…..and chaos ensues!  This film also co-stars Bryan Tyee Henry, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Joey King, Hiroyuki Sanada, and a slew of surprise cameos….if you have haven't already trailers mind you.

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.

During World War II Russia invaded Finland. They outnumbered the defenders yet were brought to a standstill. The Finnish army was highly motivated, and they had the home advantage. They also had Simo Hayah. Simo was a snipper who was able to spread fear amongst the Soviet soldiers. In one day, Simo took down 40 enemy. In 100 days of fighting, Simo took out between 500 and 800 soldiers. Here is his story followed by the tale of a bomber crewman, who was shot down 3 times. 

Sharks are pretty much the perfect horror movie villains. They're lean, mean killing machines. And they look so cool. Shark movies have a long and perhaps not so illustrious history. The first shark movie ever filmed was 1936's White Death which featured author Zane Grey as he hunts for a killer shark off the coast of Queensland, Australia. It was followed by movies like The Sharkfighters and Shark!, but it wasn't until 1975 that shark movies really hit their stride. But no, sorry, we're not about to talk about THAT shark movie… yet. Instead, we're going to fast forward 24 years when sharks became Bigger. Smarter. Faster. Meaner. Renny Harlin's Deep Blue Sea revitalized the shark movie after years of sequels and b movies (which, let's be honest, I still love). Just a friendly reminder that as always, we will be breaking down the plot in great detail. That means… there will be loads of spoilers, so if you haven't seen the movie, proceed at your own risk.

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/

After crafting 14 New York Times bestsellers centering around his swashbuckling and James Bond-like Alex Hawke character, one might think Ted Bell was satisfied with his epic life's body of work and is perhaps ready for retirement. But you couldn't be more wrong. Former Advertising Executive and life-long adventure-seeker, Ted has oodles of stories to tell—both on the page and in person. In fact, I was fortunate enough to capture Ted in rare form (via Zoom; the next best thing to being there), as we spent nearly 90 minutes (although felt like only fifteen) discussing high-performance sports cars and luxury yachts, our favorite cocktails, his vast history of advertising, his lovely European girlfriend, and of course, our mutual love of crafting adventure-rich and page-turning thrillers. His gift of words is one he's been able to cultivate since childhood and in turn master since the turn of the 21st century. And he's done so with reckless abandon—much the same way he's amassed a lifestyle as rich as the Bentley he drives. Do yourself a favor: find a comfy chaise, pour a frosty cocktail, and enjoy as one of the legends of “Madison Avenue” and fine purveyor of storytelling spins yarn after yarn, causing this host to chuckle more than once.
