from English:

 Sniðskjúttin

snidskjuttmidiStalingrad 1942. Based on a true story, the novel illustrates the grave psychological pressure when killing another becomes an unavoidable duty.

Stalingrad snipers were a legend in their time. Their patience, keen eyes and ruthlessness helped win the Battle of Stalingrad and turn the tide of the Second World War. This is a true story of a teenage sniper recruited in 1942 by Vasily Zaitsev to seek out and shoot German officers. To begin with, the youngster finds it almost impossible to kill, but after a shocking discovery goes on to ‘snap as many as 84 German sticks.’ Following capture and a daredevil escape, the sniper leads a handpicked unit on a hazardous mission – to seize Field Marshall Paulus, Commander-in-Chief of the invading army. But this sniper is no ordinary marksman…
