Product Description
Stalingrad snipers were a legend in their time. Their patience, keen eyes and ruthlessness helped with the Battle of Stalingrad and turn the tide of the Second World War.This is the true story of a teenage sniper recruited in 1942 by Vasity Zaitsev to seek out and shoot German officers. To begin with, the youngster finds it almost impossible to kill, but after a shocking discovery goes on to 'snap as many as 84 German sticks'. Following capture and a daredevil escape, the sniper leads a handpicked unit on a hazardous mission - to sieze Field Marshall Paulus, Commander-in-Chief of the invading army.
