How many people did vassili zaitsev kill?

Prior to November 10, he had already killed 32 Axis soldiers with the standard-issue Mosin-Nagant rifle.Between October 1942 and January 1943, Zaytsev had made 467 verified kills, but the real number may be much higher some argue it might have been as many as 600.


Who was the greatest soldier?

you would have to give the details of which war, which army, which way of rating him or her?Simo Häyhä was a Sweetish sniper who fought during the "Winter War" against the Soviet Union he had a confirmed 505 killsVasily Zaitsev was also a sniper, who had fought for the Soviet Union durning World War II he had a confirmed 242 killsManfred von Richthofen "The Red Baron" (WW1) was also an amazing soldier but then again he was more of a pilot.


Who was the best woman sniper in world war 2?

This question always draws an argument when asked. Bodycount? Effecton the battlefield? Most strategic shot? Longest shot? Many factors gointo the equation.The Soviets probably had the finest snipers in WW2, as a group. Vasilli Zaitsev with 224 kills at Stalingrad alone and more than 400 kills in all (some say more than 500) is surely ranked in the top tier. Ludmilla Pavlichenko ranks as the best woman sniper with 309 or more kills.Simo Hayha of Finland is credited with more than 500 kills (by sniper, 200 more with an SMG) during only 100 days, in the Winter War.Billy Singh of the Australian Light Horse would be the top WW1 sniper.Carlos Hathcock, USMC during Vietnam, is legendary for (among other things) setting a world record (longest range confirmed kill, stood for 40 years), shooting and killing an enemy sniper through the scope and crawling through 1000 yards of heavily defended enemy territory to eliminate a Viet Cong general on one of his first missions.Actually, the greatest sniper of WW1 is Francis "Peggy" Pegahmagabow, a Canadian sniper who earned 378 confirmed kills.
