Erwin König
Apocryphal German sniper
Erwin König
Erwin König might have been a top German sniper killed by Soviet sniper Vasily Zaitsev during the Battle of Stalingrad (1942-43) on the Eastern Front. However, the only mention of him comes from wartime Soviet propaganda and Zaitsev's memoirs. Surviving German military records contain no mention of any similar person. Issues that König actually existed include whether he was a Wehrmacht officer or a member of the Waffen SS, was his name Erwin König (Konnings) or Heinz Thorvald, or why the best sniper in the German Army cannot be found in any military archives or Wehrmacht personnel files.
