About the title
1942, the height of the Battle of Stalingrad. The German command sends its best marksman, Major König, to the front line on a special mission. This experienced and patient professional is the only one who might be able to deal with the elusive Russian "angel of death" — sniper Vasily Zaitsev. Zaitsev is a legend and icon for the defenders of Stalingrad. Every day he passes a death sentence on dozens of invaders caught in his crosshairs.
