The Most Feared Sniper in History

He grew up hunting rabbits in the Ural Mountains. In Stalingrad, he hunted men. Vasili Zaitsev was a Navy accountant when the Battle of Stalingrad began in 1942. He had no special training. No elite unit. Just a rifle and a childhood spent learning to be completely, perfectly still in the snow. In less than three months he killed 225 confirmed enemies in the ruins of a single city. He trained 30 snipers who multiplied his impact across the entire front. The German high command took notice. They sent their best man to stop him. What happened next became one of the most famous stories of the entire war. Whether it actually happened — nobody can say for certain. This is the true story of Vasili Zaitsev — the shepherd who became the most feared sniper in the history of warfare. War Legends Untold brings you the stories history forgot.
