    Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Part 5 of memoirs of a German sniper, who was the second most successful sniper of the German Wehrmacht and one of the few private soldiers to be honored with the award of the Knight’s Cross .An Austrian conscript, after qualifying as a machine gunner he was drafted to the southern sector of the Russian Front in July 1942. Wounded at Voroshilovsk, he experimented with a Russian sniper-rifle while convalescing and so impressed his superiors with his proficiency that he was returned to the front as his regiment’s only sniper specialist.

    Few channels are wiling to go to such lengths to describe the events of that time. You have made the most grim but necessary description, down to the small, gruesome details, which correctly portrays the nature of war, the ugly side of war that mainstream media and society can never look at in the eye. For this, you have my respect. It is most unfortunate that most of the masses will never be able to confront this reality, and so war will consequently follow man wherever he goes.

Granpa refused and because of this Nkvd held him and other honorable romanian in captivity longer than regular prisoners and at home bolshevics confiscated all of my family's properties. Until this day we fight in court with romanian state that is filled with communists to this day to retrieve or properties that rightfully belonged to my family.

      Easy to say from your warm home 80 years later. You fail to imagine the horrors of war, especially on the eastern front. Shock hits everyone differently. If you ever been around or in a accident or fight or whatever, how did you react? Fight or flee? Now imagine seeing friends/comrades/enemy's killed, injured or so badly mauled you can only pick up small parts of the person for years on end. What would it do your psyche?
      Furthermore, one couldn't be a sniper if he had no control of their emotions. A kill for a sniper is much more personal, also the reason why snipers are hated so much by the enemy and being captured will most certainly result in torture and a slow agonizing death.
