Re: Matt, History sez it did happen!!
Hmmm... In Paul Carell's book Stalingrad, published in German and later in English, Carell discusses the duel between the snipers... he discusses it as fact that an anti-sniper "expert" was brought in. The Russkie saw a glint under a pile of corrogated sheet metal.. and that was all she wrote, compliments of Moisin Nagant! It has been some time since I read the book- borrowed years ago from a late Prussian of my acquaintance.. so I don't remember all the details... would sure like to get my hands on a copy of that book again, for my personal library.
