4.9/5 (32530 ratings)

Description:A comprehensive illustrated history of snipers, their training and their battlefield role in all theaters in World War II.Thousands of volumes have been published about World War II but relatively little attention has been given to the sniper. Drawing from memoirs, government documents and interviews, World War II Snipers incorporates eyewitness accounts to weave a comprehensive narrative of snipers in World War II.While certain common traits were shared among belligerents, each had its unique methodology for selecting and training snipers and, as casualties were high, their replacements. Drawn from hunters, competitive shooters, natural marksmen, outdoorsmen, city dwellers, farmers and veteran soldiers, they fought to assert local battlefield dominance and instill among their enemy a paralyzing fear.Sometimes admired and other times reviled by their own comrades because of the retaliation they drew, they were always too few in number. Their battlefield role, their victories and their defeats are retold here from neglected or forgotten sources.The scope of World War II Snipers is extensive with three chapters each on the major theaters of the war including Western Europe, Eastern Europe and the Pacific. This is supported by a lengthy chapter on the sniper rifles used by the snipers and their equipment.Table of ContentsPart I: Selection & TrainingChapter 1: Prewar and Early War YearsChapter 2: SelectionChapter 3: TrainingPart II: Wartime SnipingChapter 4: Western Europe, North Africa, and ItalyChapter 5: Liberation of Northwestern EuropeChapter 6: To the Rhine and the ElbeChapter 7: Drang Nach OstenChapter 8: The Stalingrad KesselChapter 9: Nach Berlin!Chapter 10: Far EastChapter 11: Southwest Pacific TheaterChapter 12; The South Pacific Theater and AsiaPart III: The WeaponsChapter 13: Guns and EquipmentConclusionNotes to the textGlossaryBibliographyIndexWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
