Snipers: The Story of the Sniping War
The story of the sniping war as it developed during World War II, throughout the various theatres of war. At the outset of war sniping was not considered relevant to modern warfare, but its importance was gradually realised by all the major combatants. This programme covers the development of different weapons and techniques adopted by the German, Russian, British, US and Japanese armies. Furthermore it cover the psychology of the sniper and his association with regular soldiers. The sniper was, and remains until this day, a contradictory figure, respected as a skilled professional, hated as an assassin.
