Snipers
In World War II, an average of 25,000 bullets were fired for each soldier killed. By Vietnam, that number had climbed to 200,000. Yet on average, trained snipers fire only 1.3 bullets per kill - no wonder they are the 'most hated men on the battlefield'. From sessions at the Marine Corps Sniper School, to the legendary battle between German and Soviet marksmen that inspired the film 'Enemy at the Gates', this 4-part History Channel series brings these elite sharpshooters into focus; their history, their missions and their gruelling training.
