Interesting to note the different sniper scores quoted by various sources. The beginning of the movie only credited the hero with 100 kills. I am reminded of a friend of mine named Jack Hass (his father was the inventor of the Hass variety of avocado}. Jack passed away a couple of years ago in Orange County, California, but he did relate to me a few stories of his service in the European theater during WWII. He served there for a period of approximately three years, and he was a renowned sniper, as during this period he was credited with nearly 1000 kills. I wish I had taken the time to get his entire story written down.
