Looking on Russian TV documentary about snipers. About one German grandfather said that he was shot, has not remember exactly, about 860 bolsheviks. And this grandfather said that most varieties in East Prussia. Always trying to aim at officers. In a hat with a gun fleeing .

The reason for this is that there is hardly anything written about the subject and what's available leaves a lot of unanswered questions. Many snipers didn't survive capture, few soldiers were as hated by the enemy as the sniper.

Hopefully I will get to interview two former german snipers. I have discovered some important things that are different between german and soviet snipers and this will be interesting to look into and see if my thesis about the russian sniper tactic being superior is true.

The real problem with this project is the difficulty in gathering information, there will soon be published a book in german about waffen ss snipers which I hope will be useful. However, this research has meant that I've stumbled across a big amount of interesting information.

I think I've found most of the info about german snipers available online. I would be most interested in any information that you forum members could provide. The information that I look for also includes information about i.e. FG42 or MP44 with scope.

I'm interested in any topic-related pictures, documents etc for sale.

A list of all known german snipers and sharpshooters.

Matthäus Hetzenauer
Sepp Allerberg
Helmut Wirnsberger
Franz Karner
Roth
Friedrich Pein
Wesel? (Commander of Scharfschützekampfgruppe Wesel?)
Unterscharführer Steinke
Rottenführer John Trana
Josef Weissinger
SS-Pionier Pelzmann

I would be most grateful if an administrator or moderator could make this topic a 'sticky' one. That would help a lot.

best regards/ daniel

I've got another german sniper: Bruno Sutkus

In his book, "Sniper on the Eastern Front", Josef ALLERBERGER clearly indicates that he was sent on the Eastern Front in the end of July 1943, not in December 1942.

Bronius Sutkus (Germanized name Bruno) was Lithuanian not German.
He was probably the best ever in WH, because he made his records during so short term of 6 months only.

He spent 20 years in Gulag before he returned to his occupied Homeland - Lithuania. He was interrogated by Yuri Andropov (KGB) personally. He also instructed Lithuanian special forces just after restoring of independence.

His memoirs just issued in Lithuania:
