A Must See Movie

Frank,

Do you know of any history books that deal with the sniper duel? I remember a History Channel program awhile back on snipers that discussed it. Reviews I have read of the film have stated the Nazi/Soviet sniper duel may have been a Soviet propaganda story. Regardless, there is some truth to it because it is based upon real life Soviet sniper Vasily Zastiev, and no doubt there were Nazi snipers at Stalingrad. The question is whether a specific Nazi sniper was sent to eliminate Zastiev.
