Weird to think that the person with the most unconfirmed kills is probably some artillery crew guy that never even knew it.
It's 100% some dude pulling the lever in a bomber
@@matteagle42 but imagine if the bomber accidentally hit the door to a extremely large system of bunkers which housed half of the german army in berlin and the people inside starved but the german army was too embarrassed to ever mention it
@@nikitaastakhov9252 please elaborate.
I'm seriously interested.
Probably guy who killer the most combatants was Hans-Ulrich Rudel. He destroyed 519 tanks, 70 landing crafts, 800 military trucks, 4 armored trains, 150 artillery pieces, 11 dogfights won, one cruiser, one destroyer and even one battleship. He did those during his 2530 flying missions while piloting a dive bomber. Soviets were never able to shoot down his plane in a dog fight even tho it was a flying brick in maneuverability compared to soviet fighters. One time AA fire shot his right leg off and after he got back to base he got a prosthetic leg designed for flying and was back at it again kinda becoming a cyborg nazi. Also the guy had so many medals they invented new medals just to give to him. Too bad the guy was a nazi fanatic and allies just let the dude go after war to live happily in Argentina.
Or the guys with mgs on dday
The Asian guy was most impressive tho..
It's one thing to shoot from a safe position in the far back and completely different to be missing a hand and combating an incoming force all by yourself..
Yup. You go into close battle you want to have Gurkhas with you. Oppose them - better have your will drawn up. Words like courage, bravery, tenacity don't come close to describing the Gurkhas and their ability to go all berserk on your ass if you get in their way. Plus, they have the coolest knives (unless you're on the receiving end).
Its said that he also drew his Gurkha knife, stabbed it into the dirt in front of his trench, and shouted something to the equivalent of "Not one of you shall make it past this mark" and he made sure to keep his word.
Hardcore stuff.
he also did that with a right handed bolt action rifle left handed and he managed to repeatedly reload and fire the rifle, if i had lost a fucking hand and had no pistol id have just said fuck it and stuck grenades in my coat
Nepali legend.
Gurkhas are built differently (literally due to their lung capacity are above average human) so even till this day that British still have a Gurkhas regiment.
after having hand blown off "he's credited with single handedly..." lol
Our grandfather Gurung baje
@@whiterai9719 True 🙏
Our blood knows how darkest red blood we have then all human spices 💐
one hand was enough for him to send his enemy to another world and I am sure those Japanese got isekaied
It's kinda a ritual thingy in nepal most of our family fought in different varients wars as they are our family mostly we born to be a gurkha that blood of warriors
As I say my grand father's plus seven of his brothers they served in Indian gurkha regiments we still do
Should have mentioned that Simo Hayha didn’t use a scope on his rifle
and he had another +200 kills with his Suomi sub-machine gun
....in 103 days! But his targets were very poorly led Russians who were attempting to conduct open field tank warfare in a Boreal forrest. Russian leadership was deplorable. Stalin was the senior operations officer whose operations center was in Moscow. No supplies were allowed to be stock piled before the assault. Gross incompetence by Stalin. Superior defensive operations by the Finns! Gave AH false hope that the Soviets would be a pushover! NOT!
@@tacitusthehistories5417 not an easy feat however considering the temperatures were as low as -40C, had at best 6 hours day light and the light you had was not very bright so any claims of easy targets is really just that, mere claims, the reality is that no target in those conditions was an easy target.
He name is Simo Häyhä
@@____jH___ sure on those clear nights especially with moonlight, the shadows would have made those situations interesting as well. Then of course Finland in November through March there were probably more nights with heavy cloud cover and no moonlight or stars to help light the night. The real challenge as well would be the frigid cold, much diligent planning and servicing of ones equipment would be a necessity to be so successful.
The german machine gunner at Omaha Beach? 🤔
Yeah - he should total 1300-1700 killed
Not very many were confirmed, so it cant be counted
There were more than one
@@Benman2785 That was HIS estimation. Around 2000-5000 American died in Omaha.
@@averagewikipediaenthusiast3088 That 2000 to 5000 estimate is total causalities ( killed, wounded and missing in action) not just deaths.
Him: **says it’s mostly snipers** **sees Finland is included** I know who wins..
Simo Hayha
Finnish sniper without a scope, snow in mouth to cool down breath. So a close range sniper
@ I could of course be wrong, but i had an impression that he insisted on using his own sniper/hunting rifle without a scope, instead of using army rifle with scope. And he was very familiar with the terrain/landscape
That wouldn't be me would it?
@Federal agent of the based department The scopes also had the nasty habit of reflecting off the snow/sunlight and exposing the sniper’s position.
"Sniper sniper sniper"
And then there's Mr. Gurung
And Audie Murphy.
there goes our gorkhali!!!

*Me an intellectual*: The dude who dropped the nukes
My thought too.
Also me:
I’m pretty sure some guard in Belzec had more.
He was caught hacking and was banned from the server
But wasn't he a airman not a soldier
Majority were civilian casualties though which aren’t counted
@@zamoraaz7392 I was joking my friend
Regarding Simo Häyhä, you forgot the 200 he supposedly shot with a SMG and all his kills are within a hundred days, before he gets hit in the face.
In a close combat situation due to a Soviet attack.
@@jimeriksson5787 it was a fucking granade
@@jimeriksson5787 and russian's did say "we don't use explosive bullets"😂
@@Tuulos I mean he did kill snipers too
true, but this video is about ww2. The winter war is technically a separate conflict, meaning he actually shouldn't be here. With that said, it would a heresy if he wasn't.
Note: Hayha almost never uses a scope and earned most of his kills without the use of one. By far the most skilled sniper to have ever lived imo.
Also he killed them all in about 100 days. Im from finland 🇫🇮 perkele
And he killed untrained and young soldiers... gj
@@MusicFromSky still he was bombed by aircrafts, artillery and hunted for days by snipers and whole Soviet division. Such a waste of resources to kill only one man!
There is question to number of his “confirmed” kills though. As the Soviet journals ( at positions where Hayha was operating) reports were not that impressive. Many times there were zero loses for the day beside soldiers who got cold and Hayha reports over 10 kills. (Needles to say that he always operated alone) I think this sort of enlargement is fare for every Ace sniper or a pilot in WW2. Propaganda wants to create a myths about its army . But seriously none lied that much about their “kills” as German and Finnish army while loosing the war.
@@groundhoppingwlkp3622 very cool legend. I guess from Finnish memoirs. Soviet soldiers and commanders didn’t even know there is a superstar sniper in the Finnish army until the end of the war . lol he got injured just by lack of his own luck. No one tried to kill him specifically. Red army was only converted to trough pass a massive defense line in the Arctic circle which Finland was building for 20 years. That’s way they suffered massive casualties. The climate there killed way more soldiers and destroyed more tanks then a Finnish army. Since the line was penetrated Finland immediately surrendered.
Historians say that back when Nepal had gone war against Tibet, the Tibetian soldiers got so scared of Gurkha soldiers who were killing their people in such a gruesome way that they started jumping off the cliff and die rather than by the Khukri of Gurkha's.
Source: Trust me bro
Why would they jump instead of just shooting themselves
imagine giving a soldier 75% damage but audie murphy steal your kill
how could you give 75% damage? oh CS:GO , then yeah.

@@peterchessell28 This is one of the stupidest comments I've read in a very long time. Congrats.
For germany it should be Hans-Ulrich Rudel.
According to wiki: "Rudel was credited with the destruction of 519 tanks, one battleship, one cruiser, 70 landing craft and 150 artillery emplacements. He claimed 11 aerial victories and the destruction of more than 800 vehicles."
Prolly just counting foot soldiers only and not pilots nor tank crews etx
@@UriahD85 Dude the battleship alone carries like 2500-2800 men.
@@phillip_iv_planetking6354 Yeah I get ya but I was referring to the video creator mentioning only foot soldiers with the most kills.
Its only for foot soldiers, but I think Rudel was the best soldier of the war, at least from what I know.
Who needs an army when you got a Rudel? He destroyed a country alone.
There was a guy called Schütze Heinrich (Severloh) in the France Normandie at Omaha Beach. He was the guy with the most kills and he was called "The Beast from Omaha Beach". He was MG Gunner and he fired 12.000 bullets with MG42 and 400 bullets with his 98K and he killed and heavy woundet near to 2.000 Enemy Soldier in few hours.
He was the guy with the most kills, without bombs and explosives.
He was never proud about it and he was in friendship with one of his enemys from Omaha Beach later!
the issue is its very hard to Confirm all those kills
Its very likely he has one of the largest kill numbers
but allways listed are snipers because they see their Target dieing
@@lordjakob7052
Yes you are absoloutley right.
I was talking to a Green Beret few years ago. And after a good konversation I ask him about the truth of kills in the Army. I was a soldier too but I never has to kill somebody.
And he told me something like, "Look at first we don't count our kills like snipers in the movies, and second it is not like in the computer games. You don't get a message and a archivement for a kill. And third it is sometimes impossible to know who was killing an Target if you and three of your brother firing at the same guy many yards or meters away."
It was a honest awnser from him. And it was simple and kind of shocking real awnser for me.
His name is Kenny and he is a good guy he never lies and he would never take somebodys valor.
If it comes to soldiers to meet in my life, he is definition of a man of honor.
The k/d ratio of these men are unbeatable
Ask Kurt Knispel and Hans-Ulrich Rudel about that. lol
Lol
They'll not get deaths ratio more than 0 or 1
@@rooseveltingudam6354 Simo basically died when his face got blows off, so maybe he's 300 something and 2

Sorry for bad english
The most deadly soldiers fight for other nation for a victory where" Gurkhas".
The most people to earn victory cross where gurkhas too...
There was even a quote " If someone says he not afraid of death either he is lying or he is Gurkha".
That fearless blood still runs in that country 'Nepal'. So, lots of soldiers from gurkha training from nepal are taken by British army and indian army.

Here’s one my favorite kill streaks, Edmund Roman Orlik got ten tank kills in the Defense of Poland while using his 20mm on his TKS, his most famous kill was a 23-year-old Silesian prince and lieutenant Viktor IV Albrecht Johannes von Ratibor who rode in a Panzer IV. Not too shabby.
I wish there was more information about the polish army and the defense of Poland in 1939, all I know about the defense of Poland is that the main character of maus by art speigelman was a conscript in the polish army , and that he killed a man who was dress to look like a shrubry before his capture. So does anyone have any links or book sujestions about the subject?? , prefablely not from German sources.
@@LiamHickey2967 there is one good video from the armchair historian
@@saphixs9372 thank you appreciate it.
F for Viktor then...
@@LiamHickey2967 There's lots of info out there. In a nutshell though, the Polish army planned to hold out in the Carpathian Mountains (the Romanian Bridgehead area), however after the Soviets attacked Poland from the East, the generals decided to evacuate the army into Hungary and Romania to continue the fight elsewhere in a more reorganised manner. The Polish Army held out relatively well especially in Warsaw which held out repeated German attacks until it decided to give up the city to avoid civilian deaths. Also the German casualties were much higher than Hitler had expected which caused him to postpone his invasion of France. The Polish Army did also counterattack and took control of a few German towns in September 1939, but withdrew once it was clear they would be encircled. Check out on wikipedia battles such as Westerplatte, Wizna, Bzura, Warsaw for some more information :)
There have been videos of a lot of these snipers on an individual basis. Thanks for putting them into one video and comparing each others achievements. Well done.
Two of my great grandads were serving in Gurkha Indian regiments (now British) fighting against Japanese in Burma during ww2. One of them was shot around stomach few times but managed to survive. Since my grandmother wasn't even born, if he'd died there then I wouldn't be here right now. After recovering fully, he was sent back to the battlefield and survived the war. He along with his senior comrade spent months in Burma jungle eating snakes and stuff not knowing war was already over and Japanese had left the battlefield. He was awarded a medal for bravery after incident when he was shot but when he returned home he gave it to a poor person in his village who made a fortune after selling the medal whilst my great grandad had to work lots of different jobs to feed his family even moving abroad to India for work. Btw, I'm from a Gurung family with long history of military tradition.
All that indian food makes for some tough damn stomachs.

@@stanley626 20,000 of the ~100,000 killed in the nuke over Hiroshima were soldiers. So still technically the most kills
Killed civilians, women, children. Shame.
For Czechoslovakia you forgot Kurt Knipsel, with 168 confirmed tank kills.
Kollaa kestää (Kollaa will hold). 🇫🇮
"A famous quote from the Battle of Kollaa is Major General Woldemar Hägglund's question, "Will Kollaa hold?", to which Lieutenant Aarne Juutilainen replied, "Yes, Mr. General. Yes, it will hold unless the orders are to run away."
Simo Häyhä was assigned to the Kollaa battlefield where an estimated 32 Fins held off over 4000 Soviet Troops at one point and indeed even by the end of the war which the Soviets won, never conceded that particular ground."
Considering most of those people where snipers, Murphy being an infantryman with that many kills says a lot.
He’s American so half of them will have been killed allies too
@@Beamboy555 what?

@iStichy you know nothing about what he really did then. When he was firing the 50 cal on the tank a tank that was destroyed burning and leaking fuel he was exposed standing on top of the vehicle with hundreds of enemy combatants nearing his position he opened fire with the machine gun killing many of them for a long period of time until he took shrapnel to his legs and hip and that was just one engagement he also stormed German mg42 machine gun nest and killed the enemy soldiers as for the 240 some of kills for an infantryman that’s unheard of being a sniper and getting many kills is easy compared to what Murphy did. He is still the highest decorated soldier in US history to this day.

The number of kills Simo Häyhä had varies between 200-750. According to many reports, Häyhä had 542 Sniper kills, but some sources say that it was closer to 200. And these were just his sniper kills. Häyhä did also work as a group leader and racked up quite a few kills with his Suomi KP submachine gun. That number could be as high as 200, which would increase his highest estimate to around 750 kills.

The number of enemies killed by Häyhä, did not include kills with a submachine gun, which according to some sources was more than 200. But anyway he killed around 400-700 during the Winter War, average 5 per day, which is a lot. Interesting video 👍🏻

Snipers” but this dude actually did it
@@peterchessell28 most snipers would have also engaged enemy snipers. Häyhä and Sidorenko certainly did. It all comes down to what kind of situation and terrain the battles were fought in. Häyhä was fighting a defensive war, so he had no shortage of targets. Same for the austrian dude. The brit was on the offensive side, so he had to scout out and kill the enemy in defensive positions. He was very good at this. Russians tried similar counter-sniper tactics against Häyhä, but since moving around in the snow is hella more difficult, they were not succesful, except for the last guy, who scored a non-lethal hit (unfortunately for him, since Häyhä managed to shoot him dead before passing out).
Respect for Japanese from me. Eventhough Japanese knew that Nepalese men caused loss of many Japanese soldiers, they never held grudge.

You didn't mention that Simo hayha just used open sights .....no scope ! Incredible
It's not difficult for a good marksman to shoot over 3-5oo yards over open sights. Don't forget most kills are less then that distance, especially in close wooded country or in the ruins of Stalingrad.
Imagine training your whole life and 1 sec after antering the battleground being sniper and left to die
Most of Sidorenko's legend is dodgy, we know he never blew up four cars with his rifle for example so it's hard to separate from propaganda
all this is propaganda.
Hayha's chaplain claims that the 500 kills he got was "propaganda" and that it was actually around 200. Its all for a good story and to boost morale.

"most realistic command game",also the Soviet Gustav and Belgium KV2 just vibing in the background
The Austrian/German sniper who had around 300 confirmed kills says that he had around 500 actual kills. Simo Hayha is said to have about 500 kills both with rifle and smg, think about how many kills he actually had.
It's nice, that someone mentioned Czechoslovakian soldiers in WWII, because we took a part in it. ❤
Make another, more detailed video about Ustashe! They were the biggest monsters of the war, but people generally dont know about their evil.
For sure!
yes, that should be good
@@TheFront ty. I love your channel dude
sorry buddy but ustashe was nothing compared to UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army). Now those were some incredibly cruel and brutal people who can pretty much rival attila the huns hordes.
A Tito je bog i svetinja, komunisti su stvarno pravi za širiti laži i propagandu🖕🖕🖕
My Great Grandfather had 7 confirmed kills, and 3 possible. He killed a German sniper point blank who was pinning down his squadron. He killed two Germans who were trying to flank his squad during the attack on St.-Mere-Eglise. He blew up a German 40mm cannon with a bazooka, killing the 4 Germans who were manning it in the process. He had 3 possible kills when sniping from the top of a building, but he had no way to go down and confirm they were actually dead, so he never knew for sure if he got them.
Respect 🙏
Nice man
My great uncle knew one of the first airborne rangers, but I dint think they where named that at the time
@@actually_a_circle rangers weren’t “airborne” till later on
@@mgway4661 they wernt the rangers but it was a paratrooper like unit I dont remember the name
Me: *on the battlefield suffering heavy fire*

Highly appreciate both the mention and pretty good pronunciation in the Czechoslovak segment. Keep up the work!
There should've atleast been a mention of Lyudmila Pavlichenko. She's the most successful female sniper in history (309 confirm kills).
Rishan Aftab more than 300 nazis fell by her gun :D
they won’t because she is russian lol
Interesting vid. Probably should just clarify it as confirmed military kills though
We must realize that Sidoranko is who we have to thank for half of the clones lines
Yesterday I was watching the movie Paths of Glory (which is a ww1 movie) and I was wondering how accurate the Court Martial scene was
The Front:Best solders of all major nations.
Italy:hey where am I?
The Front:I said all MAJOR NATIONS.
Poland:It okay Italia they admit us as major fighters next time.
The video is for best soldiers, not best comedians.
Don’t forget Simo Hayha did all without a scope so that he couldn’t be spoted by the glare and shot at really long distances.
Rudel, Hartmann, all the tank commanders with 100+ tank kills etc. Bad research bro
I expected Léo Major to be featured in this video.
100% Leo Major or riot.
That Soviet sniper got more kills than me playing cod for 1 year sheesh
Basically you suck at COD
Audie Murphy also suffered heavy PTSD and became a drug addict but stopped doing them after a locking himself in a hotel room for a week or two. And then he became an actor but hated being the focus of the story. He wanted the stories told, yes but not for his glory but the men he fought beside him and died
Pleas dont forget Hartmann Erich , a german Pilot with 352 confirmed kills with BF109.
Best pilots from each fighting nation (fighter pilots with most kills/victories would surely make an interesting video)
Gunther Prien sank the battleship HMS Royal Oak with his U-boat killing 835 and went on to sink another 30 allied ships, I feel like he deserves an honorable mention.
Probably everyone on this list should be someone who was a pilot or in the navy. Sinking a ship would account for more kills than anyone on this list.
@@cp1cupcake pilots were in squadrons so it was more of a team effort. You can credit the guy who's plane actually got the hit but without the rest of the squadron taking fire away from him and covering him he probably never would have got the hit. A submarine captain who's crew is essentially there to run the boat and occasionally man deck weapons has much more personal involvement in my opinion. That's why when you talk about tank aces you're always talking about the commander and not the crew.
My great grandfather was a machine gunner on the eastern front. He rarely talked about his experience. He said two machine gunners went through a truckload of ammo in a day. When the soviets were advancing they ended up crawling trough piles of dead soldiers getting mowed down, but ammo ran out before soviets did. After the war he wouldn't even tolerate kids playing with toy rifles around his home.
Well, you missed one. His name was Ralph Brouillard and he was a cowboy from LaMarque Texas. He was first a member of the Marine Corp., then the First Special Service Force (The Devils Brigade) and last in the 82nd Airborne. He killed with a rifle, commando knife, and explosives. He had a confirmed kill of over 700 Germans and Italians. Four or five by firearms, 75 with a Sikes Fairbairn commando knife and the rest by explosives. Oh yeah, and one that he poured gasoline on and burned alive.
This'll be damn interesting. Cheers
I love that show!
Audie Murphy was in Italy, and Southern France. not Normandy. Hans Rudel killed more Russians as a German pilot than any sniper, if you include tankers and sailors, as did several other pilots, like Hartman and Barkhorn. This is full of errors.
The bombardier of the Enola Gay got a large body count, too.
Erich Hartman was such a boss even when handing himself in he still couldn't handle himself and took out some Russian fighters plains scouting the area.
I had no idea that wartime sniping was a score keeping sport.
Nicely informative.
It is also said simo killed around 200 Russians with his smg.
Everyone who knows the peculiarities of shooting from a smg will laugh at this statement.
@@jangrosek4334 lets just go see simos own diary and lets see how many kills he actually got
@@tomi9562 he wrote 687 kills in his diary
@@AatiNiiranen you have seen it?
@@AatiNiiranen Yeah and that one German "killed" over a thousand men on D-Day.
Aye, forgot lyudmila pavlichenko. Love ur vids btw. Keep up the good work!!

"From each fighting Nation": there are no chapters for more than half of them, including major players such as Italy, France and Japan. Ridiculous.
Hetzenauer was not the German soldier with the most kills, this was, in fact Hans-Ulrich Rudel.
I think Heinrich Severloh „the beast of omaha beach“ was the german soldier with the most kills...
@@der_paule9816 No, you saw that on Tik Tok. Severloh killed about 600-700 people, what Rudel did was in the realm of 3000 men, maybe even more.
God damn Tik Tok!
You're probably right 👍🏻 I just read about him. The 3000 kills will probably be right
The video is about soldiers, not airmen
For my money the British guy is the best, anti-sniper sniper, crate of scope-trophies... Come on, that's insane.
The guy was clearly a genuine psychopath with a licence to kill, but it's extremely impressive.
Clearly this was about ground combat where there is the possibility of one-on-one conflict. The hunter actually also being hunted and the target being, at least sometimes, "selected". Not just hurling ordinance into to the scary darkness.
I don't know how "enthusiastic" Bruno Sutkus was, or wasn't, in joining the Wehrmacht, but the fact is, he didn't volunteer, he was drafted. He was unique among snipers, in that the complete logs of his sniping survived the war. They are reproduced, in facsimile, in his autobiography, which I've read.
An idea for canadian soldier would be leo major the dude who captured a city by himself
