    I recently finished my favourite book of all time: "Russia's Hero's" by Albert Axell. This book covers everything from planes to propaganda. This book has a diffrent sub-topic which always relates to Russia from 1941-1945 when Hitler invaded Russia. My favourite chapter was about Russian snipers and perticulary a man by the name of Zaitev who was an expert sniper. Zaitev was an expert due to his extensive use of camoflauge and mind games. Zaitev otherwise known as " the Stalingrad sniper" was once challenged by another expert sniper codenamed "The Berlin sniper" but Zaitev eventually triumphed over him with a wonderful idea of baiting the enemy sniper by using a decoy helmet and make it apear as if it was a soilder moving along the trench.


    All credit of this book goes to Albert Axell
