battle of el alamein
The best known sniper at the battle of Stalingrad was Vasily Grigorevich Zaytsev, he killed 225 Axis troops during the battle of Stalingrad, and many before and after Stalingrad. He was blinded by a mortar round during the battle of Stalingrad, but was able to have his sight restored. Zaytsev was given the title "Hero of the Soviet Union" and was eventually promoted to the rank of captain. You might also find this list at http://www.wio.ru/galgrnd/sniper/sniper.htm interesting to look at. It does not specify whether these snipers were at the battle of Stalingrad, but I would lay money on a guess that most of them were at some point.

The Soviet Union
The Battle of Stalingrad, occurred from August 1942 until February 1943 in the city of modern day Volgograd, Russia. The battle occurred between German forces of the Wehrmacht and Soviet Union forces. The battle was the first significant defeat of German forces in the Soviet Union since their invasion in June 1941.
The first real battle between the US Army and the North Koreans. Resulted in US loss because of the US and Republic of Korea were not prepared for the Soviet's advanced weaponry.

Depends on which one you are referring to.
There have been several. The best known was probably the Soviet Union during WW 2.
Certain USSR snipers with massive kill numbers are accused of having exagerated score cards, but there can be no dispute that records and unusual kills were credited. One unusual grouping that is unique is the fact that there were over 1,000 female snipers in service and their total score exceeded 12,000 confirmed kills. The list of Soviet snipers is impressive with the top ten credited with more then 4,200 and the top 20 with over 7.400 confirmed kills (that is an average of 370 each. Here are a few snipers in the Soviet record book: * Mihail Surkov-702 kills. * Vladimir Pchelintsev-455 kills including 14 German Snipers. * Vasily Golosov-420 kills including 70 German Snipers by 1943. * Semen Danilovoich-367 including a German General Officer. * Yevgeniy Nikolaev-324 including a General. * Ludmilla Mihaylovna-309, a female sniper. * T. Dorgiev-270 plus one aircraft. * Fyodor Chegodaev-250 plus one aircraft by 1942. * Dimitriy Sergienkov-60 kills plus three tanks and 16 prisoners.
Only the communist nations (officially) used women as military snipers during WWII. The Soviet Union being one of the heavier users of females within their military system.
Enemy at the Gates
If memory serves the final soviet assualt on Berlin was the "biggest battle". I suppose its an average between numbers and days. Nasty.
Battle of Stalingrad
1,143,500 Soviets were in the Battle of Stalingrad after the Soviet counter attack.
Hollywood sensationalism. Example: Hollywood director Stanley Kubrick filmed "Full Metal Jacket" with a female enemy sniper in it (the NVA used females as auxiliaries, the same as the US/allies did during the 20th century) & the pessimism filled film "Paths of Glory" starring Kirk Douglas (father of actor Michael Douglas). Kubrick nearly sci-fied war films with a touch of pessimistic imagination. Say it enough times and people believe it. Soviet (Russian) snipers killed many German military men during WWII. But they were not officially used by the Americans, German, Japanese, British, or Australians during that war. Nor the Korean or Vietnam Wars. Officially meaning uniformed/assigned military snipers.
