Anyone know of any books on Vasily Zaitsev?
I've seen the movie Enemy At The Gates serveral times, and like it, but here it very unrealistic. So, I was wondering, does anyone know of any books that tell the true tail of Vasily Zaitsev?

...try:
CAMPING COMRADE The Vasily Zaitsev story by Joseph Roketwhoreinskovich (Unwin & Allen ISBN1337669) |
Hmm....I can't find any links to buy it off the net. You got any?
|
All I've been able to find is this: [url:69d1b]http://www.notesofasniper.com[/url:69d1b]. Seems a bit flakey.
*And wow. I just realised the joke in that. I'm so slow......* But seriously, does anyone know of any books about Zaitsev? |
Simo Hayha > Vasili Zaitsev
|
?
|
Simo Hayha was a sniper that shot alot of russians
|
I think there's a book called like, The 412 Sniper Div. Or something. whatever division it was that Vasily was in.

Simo actions had more of an overall effect though on the war's outcome. /Simo had more skills i guess you could say. |

you don't think that hollywood could come up with that story all by themselves? they were only creative enough to utterly bastardize Craig's work mad: |
enemy at the gates is an old novel so there may be some soviet innacuraccies ( i haven't read it)
|
Craig did a bit of "first hand" research, mainly interviewing Soviet, German, and Italian survivors and studying official action reports.
|
yeah, i know that, but the numbers and a few accounts taken from soviet sources might be inaccurate. i don't think we'll ever know most of the numbers on the eastern front...
