Reply to comment by Flint_Westwood in TIL that Simo Häyhä AKA the sniper White Death kept a Winter War diary, that was discovered in 2017 from his nephew's drawer, when a local museum was looking for memorabilia for an exhibition on Häyhä by Nopatme
It was forbidden to link straight to the diary which has been completely unknown to the English-speaking world.
Which I think would have made for a better discussion as it is something completely new. Rather than just another rehashing of common Häyhä talking points. As that source is in his words.
The diary is available to be read for free online with all the context including the story of the diary being found.
