Description
Sniping Rifles on the Eastern Front 1939-45 by Martin Pegler is a detailed study of the development and use of sniping weapons during World War II's Eastern Front. The Soviet Union's significant sniping force was established in 1939, but it was Finnish snipers' exceptional skill that prompted the Soviets to innovate. The German side struggled with standardization and deployment of marksmen at the start of the Great Patriotic War. Both sides employed a range of semi-automatic rifles, such as the SVT-38 and Gew 41, which offered greater firepower but compromised long-range accuracy. These innovations had a lasting impact on the post-war world. This book explores the development and use of sniping weapons in detail, shedding light on the tactics and technology used by both Soviet and German forces during this period.
