I was very surprised to see this (I guess everything is on the Internet these days). My cousin served with Simo in the winter war. They did everything on skis (my family are Saami - Lapp reindeer herders). My cousin visited us in 1975 and I sat for hours listening to his stories about Simo and the winter war (my dad’s first language was Finn and he translated). All the Finns were superb shots. There was another reason they didn’t use scopes - they fogged. I heard many stories that I should not repeat. One I will - my cousin and Simo used to shoot rats, skin them, and sell them as rabbits to the occupying Wehrmacht soldiers. The Finns hated the Russians.
