The Tactical Wargamer Forum war formerly the LANDSER forum, intended for discussion of the German Heer in the Second
World War. Readers are encouraged to continue discussion of those topics at the Axis History
Forum or at the
Feldgrau Forum
I'm researching about german snipers and sharpshooters. I've read most of the texts available online. I would be happy for any information of any sort about german snipers and sharpshooters.
Here are the snipers that I've managed to find:
Matthäus Hetzenauer
Sepp Allerberg
Helmut Wirnsberger
Franz Karner (pseudonym and author of 'Im Auge des Jägers')
Roth
Oberjäger Friedrich Pein
Wesel? (commander of scharfschützekampfgruppe Wesel?)
Unterscharführer Steinke
Rottenführer John Trana
Josef Weissinger
SS-Pionier Pelzmann

Have you found a mention for Major König (played by Ed Harris in the movie Enemy at the Gates) in any German sources whatsoever? I've read the story as told by Marshall Tchuikov in the book "The Beginning of the Road", and the movie version, but it's said there is no such record in German archives.
