Nacido en los Urales y habituado a la caza, Vassili Záitsev era un tirador excepcional, como lo demostró en la batalla de Stalingrado, donde, según sus propias palabras, "maté a 242 alemanes, incluyendo más de diez tiradores enemigos". Este libro es el relato personal de su experiencia en la guerra, sin las manipulaciones con que la falseó el cine en "Enemigo a las puertas". Lo que da un valor excepcional a este relato es el hecho de que nos ofrece el testimonio de alguien que vivió personalmente el salvajismo de la que ha sido considerada como la batalla más sangrienta de la historia: una "guerra de ratas" entre las ruinas, donde la esperanza de vida de un nuevo combatiente no pasaba de las 24 horas, y que acabó cobrándose de tres a cuatro millones de bajas. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
'As a sniper, I've killed more than a few Nazis. I have a passion for observing enemy behavior. You watch a Nazi officer come out of a bunker, acting all high and mighty, ordering his soldiers every which way, and putting on an air of authority. The officer hasn't got the slightest idea that he only has seconds to live.' Vassili Zaitsev's account of the hell that was Stalingrad is moving and harrowing. This was a battle to the death - fighting street by street, brick by brick, living like rats in a desperate struggle to survive. Here, the rules of war were discarded and a psychological war was being waged. In this environment, the sniper was king - an unseen enemy who frayed the nerves of brutalised soldiers. Zaitsev volunteered to fight at Stalingrad in 1942. His superiors recognized quickly his talent, and made him a sniper. He adapted his hunting skills to the ruins of the city, watching his prey with nerves of steel. In his first 10 days, Zaitsev killed 40 Germans. He achieved at least 225 kills and the tactics he developed are still being studied. Zaitsev was used a symbol of Russian resistance against the Nazis. His exploits, including a famous 'duel' with a Nazi sniper, remain the stuff of legend. His account is absorbing to anyone interested in World War II and seeing how one person could survive in the most extreme of conditions. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

Är det här du? |
Do not get bigheaded over your accomplishments. Let them speak for themselves in your appraisal reviews with those around you. Focus on doing better each time giving two percent better attention to each step of the task. Let not Thine own mouth praise thee, but the lips of a stranger. This proverb reminded me also that your accomplishments should be spoken of by other people and not you yourself.
Be humble and quiet and simple in your habits. When it is time for you to showcase your talent then it will be that time. Live a simple life dedicated to the pursuits you love and one day appreciation will come for all that you have achieved in your life. Remember the race isn’t given to the swift. It is given to those who take their time and work steadily on accomplishing their dreams and goals through careful goal setting and taking action in making their dreams a reality.
I did everything he asked, exactly as he told me. - Vassili Zaitsev
Do everything you are asked exactly as you are told to avoid friction between yourself and your parents. It is not matter your opinion of them. What matters is the blessings you are giving then by listening to their wisdom and keeping them happy. Especially as they get older in age. Make their lives easier by listening to what they want or require. They know best! Truly! Stop listening to your haters and listen to those who love, value, and appreciate you. Be committed to having a strong bond and relationship with your parents. They are important. Love them through your obedience and one day you will be richly rewarded. ( )
