His mission is simple: to identify, and kill, Zaitsev.īased on a true story, War of the Rats is a brilliantly compelling thriller which brings vividly to life probably the most harrowing battlefront of the Second World War. This part of the battle is as much psychological as anything, and to counter the continuing threat to German morale, the Nazi command bring to the city their own top marksman, Heinz Thorvald. Its members can pick off the enemy at long range, and their daring tactics hiding for hours in no man s land until a brief opportunity presents itself mean that no German, and particularly no German officer, can ever feel safe. One of their most potent weapons is the crack sniper school developed by Vasily Zaitsev. Stalingrad in 1942 is a city in ruins, its Russian defenders fighting to the last man to repel the invading German army. Immensely exciting and terribly authentic. White-knuckle tension as the two most dangerous snipers in Europe hunt each other through the hell of Stalingrad.
