The Subject is the Title of a book that I am reading. It is a true story and account of Sepp Allerberger. He had to join the German military at the age of 17. He started out as an MG and was injured in the hand and sent to a hospital. While recovering there he was helping sorting out Russia weapons and came across a sniper's rifle. He started to practise with it and got to be a great shot. At this point Germany did not have any snipers.
In his book he does not leave anything out. So if you like description's he holds nothing back. It took a writer over 50 years to get him to tell his story in writing. The book is called Sniper on the Eastern Front,
The Memoirs of Sepp Allerberger. He also received the Knights Cross.
The writer is Albrecht Wacker, ISBN 1-84415-317-7,Published by Pen & Sword Military an imprint of Pen & Sword Books Ltd, England. This book holds your interest from page to page.
My question is this: Where did the Sniper first appear and how did they start?
