Hitler created the Sniper Badge on August 20, 1944, to impel
soldiers to train and be used as snipers. Thus the strategic
importance of single combat was stressed in highly stylized
propaganda. Since the soldiers themselves were in sight of the
enemy troops, unlike the members of other service arms, they
experienced the death of their enemies directly. In this concise
history, this badge, as well as the actions of German snipers, is
examined and includes colour images of badges, weapons, awards,
soldbuchs, and war era photos.

The close-range engagement of tanks became extremely important,
mainly because of the Soviet T-34 and KV-I tanks were for a long
time, superior to all German tanks and anti-tank guns. Frequently
employed in small groups of three to five tanks to support the
infantry, these Russian tanks could often be put out of action
with close-range weapons. This book provides a concise account of
Tank Destruction Badge, and the close-range combating of tanks. In
addition to a description of the special badge and the most
commonly used weapons, it includes operational accounts by
recipients of the badge.
