This is probably old fookin news to many of you. I saw a special about snipers on the History Channel today, and as it turns out the story of Vassili Zaitsev is true. I haven't seen Enemy at the Gates in quite some time, but I always thought it was just Hollywood crap. Its a good movie mind you, but I never imagined it was mostly true. The 2 or 3 day ordeal between Konig and Zaitsev was outlined on the history channel. Pretty amazing stuff. They also said he racked up 242 German kills at Stalingrad alone. Thats even more amazing. I'm not sure how the movie ended, but THC (haha potheads) said Zaitsev was with a reporter/propaganda type who stood up because he thought he saw Konig and was immediately shot. The story then went that he took off one of his gloves and attached it to a piece debris and slowly raised it up. Konig shot the glove quickly as Zaitsev watched for muzzle flash. He didn't see much, but based on instinct he looked too a large steel plate in a section of road. He kept his scope there until the sun was directly on Konig and when Konig moved his rifle a quick flash of light reflected from his scope. Zaitsev fired one round through the steel plate and into Konigs head. Pretty incredible story if you ask me. I've looked around the internet and seen several different versions, all holding the same base. So tell me those of you who are familiar with the movie, is that similar to the ending sequence of the movie? And what have you heard about Zaitsev?
