In this episode of The Soviet Victory Over Nazi Germany Explained, Lucas and Luna explore the Red Army's sniper program — a massive, organized effort that produced some of the deadliest marksmen in history. They cover the origins of Soviet sniping, the establishment of the Tsentralnaya Zhenskaya Shkola Snayperskoy Podgotovki (Central Women's Sniper Training School), and the stories of legendary snipers like Vasily Zaytsev, Lyudmila Pavlichenko, and Ivan Sidorenko. The conversation delves into the sniper's role on the Eastern Front, the tactics and equipment used (including the Mosin-Nagant rifle with PU scope), and the German response. They also discuss the propaganda value of snipers, the intense psychological warfare between Soviet and German sharpshooters, and the legacy of these marksmen. This episode offers a focused look at a critical aspect of the Red Army's war effort that has not been covered in prior episodes. #SovietSnipers #LyudmilaPavlichenko #VasilyZaytsev #IvanSidorenko #MosinNagant #EasternFront #WWII #RedArmy #Snipers #TsentralnayaZhenskayaShkolaSnayperskoyPodgotovki #Stalingrad #Sevastopol #Propaganda #SniperDuel #History #FexingoHistory #WWIIEasternFront #SovietHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
