Sorry to harp back to the Konig /Thorwald debate but Erich is right it's complete rubbish , complete Soviet propaganda.

I have been to Stalingrad a few times now and met many Russian vets , every trip someone asks questions about this and the Russian vets laugh !!!!

As one of them who was an Infantry company commander who had snipers in his troop said how on earth through the mass of twisted metal / debris / smoke / explosions / gunfire etc etc in Stalingrad or any other Battle could a sniper know the name or identity of the man he had just shot. The kill counts were simply that , numbers stacking up , you didn't go over to get the other fellows pay book and details otherwise you'd end up dead yourself !!

By the way got to agree about the history channel some appalling historical disrepancies both in film and narrative some of these so called historina should be ashamed of them themselves,
