Summary of Albrecht Wacker's Sniper on the Eastern Front

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was conscripted into the German Wehrmacht in February 1943. I was trained as a sMG gunner, and when I completed the training six months later, I was sent to the Eastern Front near Voroshilovsk, Ukraine.

#2 The Battle of Stalingrad was the turning point for the German army. It marked the loss of 250,000 men with all their armament and equipment. The last hope was now Feldmarschall Paulus, but Hitler turned down the suggestion.

#3 The 6 Army was not able to break out of Stalingrad, and was left to rot there. The 3. G. D. was used purely as infantry, and their losses were enormous.

#4 The first stage of the attack began at just before five with an artillery barrage. The earth was turned over with a series of dull thuds, the explosion from each shell spraying large clumps of sod into the clear morning sky. I became aware of strange sickening screams amid the roars of shells impacting and the whizzing sigh of metal splinters.
