What is half-Jewish anyway? I though Jewishness was a matrilineal thing, so either your mom is Jewish means you is Jewish or she ain't so you ain't unless you go through a very long and tedious process involving a whole bunch of rabbi's?

From a religious perspective, yes, it's matrilineal.

From a racial perspective, it's whatever society wants.

Reading a bit about simo hayha, "the white death" and his 500 confirmed kills in the winter war

Would it surprise you to learn these kills were "confirmed" based on his own reporting and no actual evidence

Lots of comparisons to Chris Kyle when you inevitably come across one of the many reddit threads sucking him off, which is probably accurate but not for the reasons they believe

He only fought in the winter war and missed the whole continuation war, waking up from his wounds shortly after it ended, preserving his reputation as a patriot and not a nazi collaborator

The stories of the thousands of red army troops sent to catch him, specifically, don't make any sense when you think about it for 5 seconds and myths like how the soviets burned down entire forests trying to flush him out are bullshit - at best they were burned to create smoke screens to make it more difficult for any snipers to be effective in general

Even most skepticism about his incredible (literally) wartime feats only go so far as to note that the subhuman soviets were so poorly trained, led, and equipped that he was just shooting fish in a barrel as they charged zerglike human wave after human wave

Lol orcish tactics from the Soviets... not surprising. Except for the Ukrainian soviets. Those ones were pure angels who were misled and also being genocided, as they were tricked into fighting against their brothers in Finland

Over-reporting aside, this touches on a thing in British reporting of the Boer War, Battle of Mons and Malaya Emergency I had to pick through once. Basically at typical combat ranges a soldier can’t differentiate between a soldier going prone, as in taking cover or advancing in bounds, and being killed. It led to massive inflations of estimated enemy dead, not even at the cooking the books level, which happened too of course, but because the soldier saw an enemy in their sights, fired, and saw them drop. It just happens to turn out with records from the other side that they missed and - understandably - the person being shot at took cover.

The same applies to artillery observers seeing groups of men “disappear” after shells start to land. For Allied fighterbombers they basically could not differentiate between damage being done and not, so reported anything they shot at destroyed. With the famous Nazi “Stuka Aces” on the eastern front you have those reporters further exaggerated for propaganda or ideological purposes - “hordes of Soviet tanks destroyed” often turns out to be a small group, of which maybe a handful suffered minor damage.

That believing the reports about cannon-armed Stukas directly led to the design of the A-10 is funny in its own right.

You want soldiers to believe they’re hitting what they’re shooting at, and that their fire is effective and lethal, you know at the soldier psychology level, but that part never makes it into pop culture so that people forget it took the Western Allies iirc several tonnes of ammunition for every German soldier killed in Normandy.
