A Must See Movie

[Johnny Peppers]

Zaitsev's account of the duel has the German master sniper making too many mistakes that an experienced sniper would never make. The worst is the German sniper taking a hide where there was no means of escape undetected and using the same hide on subsequent days. Also the German sniper would never have fallen for the glove on a stick trick, and if he thought he had made a kill, he would not have raised his head above his hide to observe his handiwork. I think Russian propaganda played a large role in Zaitsev's account.
