Cool vid German sniper training

YouTube - Nazi Germany sniper training camp 2 /6

Found this video of German sniper training in the late stages of war..there are six of them but this will direct you to the others...very interesting.

Found this other German newsreel of a sherman unit being owned in the italian front

YouTube - WW2 - German paratroopers vs. U.S. Sherman tanks (1944)

 

Yes that sniper training film is a good 'un it's one of two on this release;



The interesting part is that the first film is very well put together and covers all which you might expect it to, the second one looks like more of a rushed production and actually contradicts some of the first one.

The newsreels are always interesting to watch, just have a large dose of salt nearby.

cheers

DVD available from German Sniper: The Invisible Enemy

 

Too bad there aren't any on the better Soviet or Finn snipers in WWII.

 

There must be sniper training films for just about every nation tbh, just never seen any other than this one. Tis a shame.

 

I bet that Simo Hayha didn't need a training film! LOL. He used the old iron sight .

 

Thanks for puting up this great clip Krieg

 

I dont think that guy was better than Vassili though. Vassili had to snipe in the always active and enemy populated city of Stalingrad...relocating in much more occations and hunted by mayor Konings ( if this guy existed )

 

This is for sure one of the most interesting newsreels and its the last.

This one covers Crete

500 CONFIRMED kills over open sites? All within 100 days.Averaging approx 5 kills a day.That is more amazing.

 

Funny how most people have heard of Vasily Grigoryevich Zaytsev because of the movie "Enemy at the Gates". Yet many do not know that there were others with higher scores then his. About 10 of them. Fyodor Matveyevich Okhlopkov being a good example. He was an expert sniper and was considered one of the best in the Soviet army with approx 425 kills. And Mikhail Ilyich Surkov being considered the top scorer with approx. 702.

 

i wouldnt be so sure...killing russians might have been a lot easier than killing germans..its like scoring agaisnt jap zekes or german fw 190

 

Soviet snipers were prettier.



WW2 Snipers

???????? ???

oo la la!! Hello Comrade!

 

thats nice sending women to do the hard work

 

Oh, that's all right, I don't mind.

 

Nice video and "High Score-list"!
Thanks, and merry christmas from Sweden.

 

Since the Soviets saw no problem with women serving in the Military and they showed that they too could fight as well as the men ,especially as pilots and snipers,I doff my cap to them. And they were VOLUNTEERS. When you are shot and killed it matters not if you were killed by a male or female sniper. Either way you are dead.

 

Ahh, yes, women... How could men have the gall to put them to this, their place was at home winning Deutschemutterkreuzen.

and last but not least: (see where she's resting her feet...)

 

The Russians sent the women to fight instead of themselves, thats what the Germans thought and thats what i think.

 

Hahahahah!
