World War II – USSR Snipers

Last weekend i bought World War II DVD collection from Costco and watched all of them. It was horrible and weak hearted people should avoid it. I liked one good part is USSR army special unit snipers, they are the one who really led Stalin’s USSR to victory against Germans, second to strategy. I like snipers, when ever i play Xbox Halo or Medal of Honor video game, i get excited with sniper’s shooting mode. Because it is very hard to shoot somebody from distance with precise aim into their head.

Snipers required special coaching and lot of practice, more than that, it was less expensive to hire somebody and give him training to make him as deadly weapon, rather than building a cutting edge military weapon which required scientists, technical and man power etc. The strategy was, snipers were placed everywhere at Moscow suburbs and their aim was to kill whoever driving military war tank, top commanders, and whoever wears top military stars, German military power collapsed sooner without people to drive German modern war tanks and commanding the force. This was excellent strategy, because Germans advanced so much deep into USSR, German can’t replace somebody with those who got killed by snipers.

Stalin knew very well that he had the power of snipers and let Germans advance deep into USSR territory and he also waited for weather to assist him. The bad part was, his selfishness, at any cost he wants to save Moscow and he didn’t care much about outside Moscow people. They all got killed after tortured. I was amazed that all of this torture and killing were documented and we saved for this long, so that we can see now after so many years to understand the value of human life and peace.

Thanks Sukumar, this post is all about snipers and Stalin's ill strategy about saving Moscow. Nothing to do with Germans and their leaders.
