https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_Zaitsev_(sniper)

Vasily Grigoryevich Zaitsev (Russian: Васи́лий Григо́рьевич За́йцев, IPA: [vɐˈsʲilʲɪj ɡrʲɪˈɡorʲjɪvʲɪdʑ ˈzajtsɨf]; 23 March 1915 – 15 December 1991) was a Soviet sniper who served in World War II.

Between 22 September 1942 and 19 October 1942, he killed 40 enemy soldiers.[1] Between 10 October 1942 and 17 December 1942, during the Battle of Stalingrad, he killed 225 enemy soldiers.[2]

Simo Häyhä[a] (17 December 1905 – 1 April 2002), often referred to by his nickname The White Death,[b] was a Finnish military sniper during the Winter War between Finland and the Soviet Union in World War II. He used a Finnish-produced M/28-30 rifle (a variant of the Mosin–Nagant) and a Suomi KP/-31 submachine gun. Häyhä is believed to have killed more than 500 enemy soldiers during the conflict, the highest number of sniper kills in any major war. Consequently, he is generally regarded as the deadliest sniper in history.[2][3][4][5][6]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audie_Murphy

Audie Leon Murphy (June 20, 1925 – May 28, 1971)[1] was an American soldier, actor, and songwriter. He was widely celebrated as the most decorated American combat soldier of World War II,[4] and has been described as the most highly decorated enlisted soldier in U.S. history.[5][6] He received every military combat award for valor available from the United States Army, as well as French and Belgian awards for heroism. Murphy received the Medal of Honor for valor that he demonstrated at age 19 for single-handedly holding off a company of German soldiers for an hour at the Colmar Pocket in France in January 1945, before leading a successful counterattack while wounded.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Billotte

Pierre Armand Gaston Billotte (8 March 1906 – 29 June 1992) was a French Army officer and politician. He was the son of General Gaston Billotte, who commanded parts of the French Army at the start of World War II. Pierre Billotte was himself notable for his combat actions during the Battle of France.

On 16 May, while under heavy fire from German tanks, Billotte and his B1 Bis managed to break through the German defences and to destroy two German Panzer IV tanks, eleven Panzer III tanks and two enemy guns. Billotte’s Char B1-Bis tank received 140 hits from enemy tanks and guns, but none were able to penetrate the tank’s heavy armour.[1]


When you’re so badass the SEALs spend years covering it up.

John Allan Chapman (July 14, 1965 – March 4, 2002) US Air Force combat controller.

Chapman charged forward, killing two enemy soldiers and advancing towards a defensive fighting in Bunker 1 from minimal personal cover, and he received multiple wounds. His engagement and destruction of the first enemy position and advancement to the second enabled his team to move to cover and break enemy contact. He is credited with saving the lives of the entire SEAL Team Six team.

Chapman was hit and went down. His SEAL team leader, Britt Slabinski, failing to check Chapman for signs of life, ordered his SEAL teammates to retreat down the mountain, leaving Chapman alone. Despite being mortally wounded, Chapman came to and engaged enemy combatants at Bunker 2 for an hour and twenty minutes. He sustained gunshot wounds, shrapnel wounds, cuts and bruises from hand-to-hand combat, and concussive injuries from the American bombs called to his position by Slabinski.

Knowing that the enemy wanted his position, he made the decision to leave cover in order to protect the QRF with suppressive fire. As he lay prone, firing at an entrenched machine gun position, an enemy fighter fired the round that ultimately killed him. Though five men from the QRF were killed, Chapman’s actions allowed those on the helicopter time to defend their location and saved lives.

While the Air Force pushed for Chapman to be recognized, Naval Special Warfare Command allegedly attempted to block Chapman’s Medal of Honor as it would result in an admission that Chapman had been left behind. When it became apparent that Chapman’s Medal of Honor could not be blocked, it was further alleged that the Navy put the commander of the operation, Britt K. Slabinski, up for the same award, which he received in May 2018.

Oh! Vasily Zaitsev was portrayed by Jude Law in Enemy at the Gates.


Aw, why no Pavlichenko?



RIP Audie. He did not have a good go of it after the fact.
