I hate to blue-ball you folks, but I have to postpone the Sniper posts, but for good reasons:
1) I will be interviewing a WWII German veteran who was a sniper (the unit will be a surprise) during the latter part of the war.
2) I ordered two books on WWII German snipers, and one has excellent photos not only of training, but the basis of what is known as a “sniper logbook,” as well as his entries into said book along with his award documents.
So I hope the wait is worth it for you folks.
