World War II Sniper's Pocket Manual
The Twentieth Century ushered in a new era of warfare with poison gas, aviation, tracked armoured fighting vehicles becoming a part of an army's arsenal. On a lesser scale sniping and snipers rose to promience; adding to the misery of the soldiers sheltering in the trenches across Europe. While World War II was more dynamic with mobile warfare, the sniper soon found a niche in mobile and stationary combat that enabled his assertion of an aura of fear over the opponent.
This volume is a compendium of the best of various World War II sniping manuals. Included is the 1933 Soviet Army's Shooting Manual which has its pre-war sniper training program which has never before been released in english. This manual was the first post World War I manual issued by any major army and alone makes this book a worthy addition to the library of any serious military historian.
This pocket manual is intended to impart upon the reader insights on how the sniper was trained. While common themes like long range shooting, leading the target, shooting at different elevations, camouflage, obervation skills and tactic were taught by most schools, each army placed different emphasis on the the subject matter or approach. Students of sniping, museum curators, conservators, World War II reenactors and researchers will find it useful in their interpretation of objects or tactics.
