    Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Part 6 (second last part) of memoirs of a German sniper, who was the second most successful sniper of the German Wehrmacht and one of the few private soldiers to be honored with the award of the Knight’s Cross .An Austrian conscript, after qualifying as a machine gunner he was drafted to the southern sector of the Russian Front in July 1942. Wounded at Voroshilovsk, he experimented with a Russian sniper-rifle while convalescing and so impressed his superiors with his proficiency that he was returned to the front as his regiment’s only sniper specialist.

    It needs to be kept in mind though that this is the story written by a particular person without factual backup. The gruesome depictions of Russian atrocities while claiming the Germans had high standards of behavior is a constant theme in these German memoirs and could of course be fabricated or exaggerated. And we all know of the equivalent atrocities committed by the Nazis.

    the tragedy of the man who had watch his wife being raped and murdered...The germans could only leave the man in his anguish. Not just banal, senesless violence commited against his wife, but the violence with he understanably lashed out at the soviet survivor. Even in the act of revenge, he is victimized by the scars and memory of his act of resprisal, however understandable it may be. At the end, this man was left with the despaair of his dead wife, the memory of an 18 year old he had butchered by his own hand and a home defiled. In the end, everyone moves on. But what is he to do? he doomed to suffer cruelty that ultimately he must bear alone. Pointless. Senseless. There is no hero. There is no plan. There is no justice. His victimisers were granted the swiftness of death. He is left to bear and aftermath worse than death. To use any word to decribe what one should feel at this moment would be an injustice. The vivid decriiption of the atrocity in its straight forward, plain manner causes in me deep feeling an anguish and deep sorrow that I cannot describe. War doesnt have victors, there are only victims. No words. Terrible. Terrible.

    The Red Army commited hundreds of thousands, if not a million plus such appalling atrocities. It beggars belief but it's certainly true. Nothing can justify their idea of revenge on not just Germans but any country they occupied in their drive west. Yes atrocities were commited by Germany too but Soviet savagery knew no bounds. It seems beyond all reason and Humanity and illustrated that in War we become the worst version of a Human being possible if unbridled hatred is encouraged, if not demanded by the state.

    Such stories were common on the Eastern Front. Young men never received pay for their efforts on the Russian side, as for Germans they were told their pay was going to their families. It was not true. The Germans came upon Jewish Shetyls with exuberance of the Hun. In one story a Jewish village that had existed for 500 plus years with little trouble of a population of several thousand eradicated residents. It was erased from history. They did it because they could.

    Very interesting stories. One thing one has to realise is that these "unprovoked barbarities caused by the partisans and Soviets" weren't unprovoked and were only pale comparison of what the Germans did. Commander and friend of the MG gunner in "Until eyes shut" was shot for raping girls as young as 7 year old. It's well documented, yet they always make themselves to be the victims.
