On the combat account of the author of this book, 257 lives of Soviet soldiers. This is the memoir of one of the best (snipers) of the Wehrmacht. These are the cynical revelations of a ruthless professional about the horrendous brutality of the war on the Eastern Front, in which there was no place for chivalry or compassion.In July 1943, a young machine gunner Josef Ollerberg was wounded near Stavropol. In the hospital, he decided to experiment with a Russian sniper rifle that accidentally fell into his hands. A few months later, he returned to his regiment as a trained shooter and changed his military specialty forever. In the days when the Nazis had to continuously retreat under the blows of the Red Army, Ollerberg became one of the most successful German snipers. Cunning and ruthless, possessing inhuman endurance and an animal ability to navigate the battlefield, he survived the most terrible battles of the Eastern Front, but paid a monstrous price for survival, turning into a complete killer.Publisher's layout saved in PDF A4 format .
