Why Were Soviet Snipers So BRUTAL? | The Deadliest Snipers of World War II

Simo Hayha Had The MOST
KILL's Durning WW-2, With 545 Confirmed Kills...
Those 3 Named Russian Sniper's, NEVER Had 400+ Kills, Ever...

Not themost accurate information... but was a reasonably interesting video

those factory workers who manually worked on lathe machines n made these fine rifles looks equally tough job to me.

So many neo nazi apologists in the comments.. lol
To bad most of their heroes are still fertilising the soil in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus...

I read a memoir from a former Wehrmacht sniper where he depicts a scene in which he was granted leave and before he left, he handed over his sniper rifle to a greenhorn sniper that came as part of the replacements.

After his leave, he managed to returned to his unit and he asked around for the sniper that he gave his rifle to before he left. They told him he went "hunting" and didn't came back. A few days later, a German patrol came across his body. It was believed that he was captured, tortured and the rifle was forced up his rectum so hard that the only part left was the trigger and the rifle butt.

The sniper mentioned that he used to scribe the number of kills he got onto the rifle butt. After this incident, riddled with guilt, he stopped counting his kills.

Be very, VERY careful when evaluating Soviet claims - taking them for granted is, well, unwise. ;) Oh, and don't use clickbaits in your titles, as you don't say ANYTHING about WHY those Soviet snipers were so brutal - and they WERE, for German accounts DO state that sadism was " a thing" among Soviet snipers. I like your videos, but this one is a "mission failed".

They were "so brutal" because they were RUSSIANS. Just as the savage brutes are NOW.

The German where just as good but they never had enough and good winter gear. If wasn’t Germany created a three front war they could never have won. There leader knew they could win the war on three fronts.

There really wasnt any proof Erwin König ever existed. This was acknowledged in the book Enemy at the Gates: Battle of Stalingrad by William Craig and David Baker. Zaytsev was real but this story probably was just a morale booster. Great video though.

Most snipers aren't very nice .

One death is a tragedy and a million deaths is just a statistics.

Comrade Joseph Stalin.

Quantity is a Quality in itself.

Comrade Joseph Stalin.

I have researched a little bit about this famous Sniper Battle in Stalingrad. It's a soviet propaganda myth.
There is a german department which has all the files about german soldiers.
Some guy in a forum wrote to the department and shared his results.
There was no Major Erwin Konig, or as other sources call him: Erwin König, Erwin Koning, Heinz Thorvald.
There was also no german Sniper school near Zossen.

Its a soviet myth, the poor famer son Zaitsev kills the Major König (King).
A great heroic communist story as always....

Wasn't the best sniper Finn?

🤡 We are told Germans wanted to rule over us as the master race by a tribe that lords over us as “The Chosen”....

Something to ponder when looking around the globe

Brutal doesnt equal effective

I really like these videos but I think you should also continue with the footage+music videos. Those were very intense and impressive but I like those too. Anyway, good job and thanks for keeping WWII alive.

I'd think that with the impending threat of extinction by the Germans. Russian snipers were very motivated to make every shot count

awesome video 😄

During World War II, those Russian snipers were some real sharpshooters, possibly the deadliest of the lot. The Germans might've had some hotshots too, but who really knows? One thing's for sure though - Russia had way more soldiers in the mix."

Wow, Really good video. thanks guys
