"Pioneer of the Sniping World War: Unique Insights and Techniques Revealed"
The First World War marked a significant turning point in the history of sniping, earning it the title of the first sniper war. It was on the battlefields of this war that sniping tactics became widespread, and where the fundamental principles and distinct techniques were established. Notable among these tactics were the deployment of sniper pairs, consisting of a marksman and an observer-spotter.
While the Germans are rightfully credited as pioneers in the field of sniping, unleashing an unprecedented "sniper terror" as early as the autumn of 1914, the British swiftly responded to this threat by establishing their own sniper school, effectively suppressing enemy marksmen. Russian infantry units also suffered heavy casualties due to sniper fire. As one veteran poignantly recalls, "I vividly remember the oppressive atmosphere caused by German snipers in our regiments. They practically prevented us from showing even half of our heads from behind the parapets. The high percentage of officers becoming casualties in the first few minutes of battle also indicated that someone was targeting them - undoubtedly, it was the work of snipers".
However, it was only much later, in the Red Army, that a sniper school was successfully established, paving the way for mass sniper training programs. This book, the first comprehensive study of the art of sniping, was translated into Russian 90 years ago. Nevertheless, it remained classified under the label "For Official Use Only" for two-thirds of a century and has only now been made accessible to the wider public.
Discover the untold stories, strategies, and technical mastery behind the snipers of the First World War. Immerse yourself in the world of snipers as you delve into this professionally researched and translated masterpiece. Gain a deeper understanding of the pivotal role played by snipers in shaping the battlefield and the tactics that ultimately contributed to victory.
