WWII German Sniper Training Course (English Translation)

This "WWII German Sniper Training Course" is an official WWII era training film which was produced by the German High Command to help field train snipers in the art of camouflage and deception. It also covers both sniper and counter sniper training and techniques. For anyone studying the history of WWII sniping, viewing this film is really enjoyable to better understand the propaganda and techniques used during that era. Note that it has been dubbed with an English translation soundtrack.

The German Sniper Code

1. Fight fanatically
2. Shoot calm and contemplated, fast shots lead nowhere, concentrate on the hit
3. Your greatest opponent is the enemy sniper, outsmart him
4. Always only fire one shot from your position, if not you will be discovered
5. The trench tool prolongs your life
6. Practice in distance judging
7. Become a master in camouflage and terrain usage
8. Practice constantly, behind the front and in the homeland, your shooting skills
9. Never let go of your sniper rifle
10. Survival is ten times camouflage and one time firing

Is there a link to download this?

[Badger]

No, sorry ...

We're a research site for members, not a download server. We pay to have all our videos handled externally and get charged by the gigabyte of bandwidth that members use when viewing these videos.

The advantage to this kind of system is that it uses bit-rate switching technology which delivers the optimal quality to any viewer, seamlessly switching if bandwidth conditions change. It also supports HTML5 (a coming standard), plus all our videos run on iPhones, iPads (I've tested those), as well as many other portable devices.
