I think this story is told in David L. Robbins book 'War Of The Rats'.<BR/>Although he is creditted with about 240 kills by sniper fire unofficial sources think that it may have been double that.<BR/>In 1943 his eyesight was damaged during a mortar attack.<BR/>The facts at the end of the movie though are fairly accurate.<BR/>I got so taken up with the movie that I had to check out whether it was just a film - or whether Zaitsev really existed.Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18154296143024548830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-15832107454361112732009-01-27T09:03:00.000-06:002009-01-27T09:03:00.000-06:00James B.,Yep, that's the way the movie opens.James B.,<BR/><BR/>Yep, that's the way the movie opens.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-89319644368021128142009-01-27T08:20:00.000-06:002009-01-27T08:20:00.000-06:00Gotta agree James, this is a superb film.
