I was reading about the Russian snipers in the battle of Stalingrad. Russia's premier sniper was Vasily Zaytsev who learned to shoot from his grandfather. He and his grandfather hunted together.
Question 1: Zaytsev grew up after the communists took over. I thought Stalin confiscated all privately owned firearms?
Question 2: Also, some historical accounts have Russian snipers taking a serious toll of Germans. But other accounts have the Russian snipers woefully inadequate?
