Of course, the number of confirmed kills is much lower than the real number of kills. For example, F.Ohlopkov killed over 1000(!) enemy soldiers and officiers.

On 1943, Soviet snipers included over 1000 woman-snipers; they were credited with 12000+ confirmed kills during the war.
Top ten of Soviet snipers have 4200 confirmed kills, top twenty of Soviet snipers have 7400 confirmed kills.

Sniper of 82nd rifle division Mihail Lysov shot down a dive bomber Ju87 in October 1941, using an automatic sniper rifle.

Sniper of 796th rifle division Vasily A. Antonov shot down a bomber Ju88 by four rifle shots in July 1942.


Talking about "Enemy at the gates", I should cay it's very good film. Only thing I can't understand: What a war they mean? Very similar to the eastern front of WW2, but how these stupid morons (called "the Russians" in the film) finally destroyed "the Germans" at "Stalingrad" ? Such opinions about the history would be laughable if wouldn't be so sad.
