A sniper is a trained marksman who operates alone, in a pair, or with a sniper team to maintain close visual contact with a target and engage the targets from concealed positions or distances exceeding the detection capabilities of enemy personnel. Josef Allerberger and Matthäus Hetzenauer Introducing probably the most famous German sniper of WWII, Josef Allerberger, and his accomplice Matthäus Hetzenauer. This duo made a significant impact during the war. Josef was a normal front line soldier until he got injured at the Battle of Stavropol. While he was recuperating, he decided to play around with a captured Soviet Mosin Nagant 91/30 rifle. This practice would lead him to want to practice on real targets, and he did. He soon went Soviet-hunting and killed 27 Soviet troops before his commanders sent him off to sniper training (German sniper training was the best in WWII). There he learned to hide behind a camouflaged umbrella, all the while shooting whatever he wanted with a German K98. He also met a fellow Austrian, Matthäus Hetzenauer. Allerberger would rack up a total of 257 confirmed kills, while Matthäus Hetzenauer racked up 345 all on the Eastern Front. That made their combined total 602 confirmed kills. It was reported that they would often cover each others' line of fire along with the other snipers of the 3rd Mountain Division. Also, Josef hated female Russian snipers like #5 Pavlichenko: he killed approximately 38 of them. Matthäus Hetzenauer would eventually be captured, but survived the war and lived until 2004. Josef (Sepp) Allerberger would follow his dad's footsteps and become a carpenter. He was probably one of the most badass carpenters in history. He only recently died in 2010. Enemy at the Gates is a 2001 war film written and directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud and based on William Craig's 1973 nonfiction book Enemy at the Gates: The Battle for Stalingrad, which describes the events surrounding the Battle of Stalingrad in the winter of 1942 and 1943. The film's main character is a fictionalized version of sniper Vasily Zaytsev, a Hero of the Soviet Union during World War II. It includes a snipers' duel between Zaytsev and a Wehrmacht sniper school director, Major Erwin König. You will receive the item as shown in the first photo.
