The russians had 15 sniper schools. 66% of those went up during the battle for stalingrad. one or two of which was led by Vasili Zaitsev. Though the russians had the most confirmed kills from snipers and were very much feared by the germans, it was the germans who out number the russians in schools 3:1 and snipers 15:1. Unlike the russians german snipers were trained to sit and wait, which is why they were so widely feared throughout the Allied forces, and were also very good at concealing themselves and their shots. just an FYI..their "unconfirmed" kills outnumbered their confirmed 3:1, which would put them well over the russian sniper count biggrin:
