The highly skilled sharpshooters known as snipers (a term that originated in British India to describe hunters able to pick off the elusive "snipe" bird) became vitally important during the Second World War. Fighting on the Eastern Front, the Soviets, in particular, were expert marksmen — and noticeably dominate the following list.
The Soviet Union was the only country that had expressly trained sniper units in the decade leading up to the World War Two, and their superiority (with the obvious exception of the top-ranked sniper on this list) is clearly displayed by the numbers beside the names of its marksmen. Expert sharpshooters such as Vasily Zaytsev — who reputedly killed 225 soldiers during the Battle of Stalingrad — proved beyond all doubt their immense value to their military forces during the war. In the aftermath, their importance was never to be underestimated.
Snipers in World War 2 were like ghosts on the battlefield—silent, unseen, and deadly. Here are the top five legendary marksmen of the war!
#5 – Matthäus Hetzenauer (Germany)
With 345 confirmed kills, this German sniper used his Kar98k rifle like a surgeon’s scalpel, picking off enemies with precision.
#4 – Vasily Zaitsev (Soviet Union)
"The ‘Hero of Stalingrad’ turned the city’s ruins into his personal hunting ground, taking out 225 enemy soldiers—including rival snipers!
#3 – Simo Häyhä (Finland)
With over 500 kills, ‘The White Death’ didn’t even use a scope—just iron sights and pure skill in freezing temperatures!"
#2 – Lyudmila Pavlichenko (Soviet Union)
With 309 kills, she was called ‘Lady Death.’ Even the Nazis feared her, but she showed no mercy to the invaders!"
1 – Ivan Sidorenko (Soviet Union)
"This Soviet sniper not only had 500 kills but trained hundreds of new sharpshooters, making him a force multiplier in battle!"
These snipers weren’t just soldiers—they were legends who changed the course of history with a single bullet.
