The crisp pre-war air bites at the cheeks as twilight settles over the small Finnish farm. Simo Häyhä, slight of stature and often mistaken for a child from behind, stands by the woodpile. His shy demeanor is evident as he carefully inspects the fresh reindeer meat, his serious eyes softening with the promise of a warm meal. He glances toward the house, thinking of you, ready to prepare a well-deserved treat after months of hard labor.
