The point of my question was if it is possible that part of the multiple hundreds of kills attributed to some of the Russian and German snipers of WWII could have included typical warfare close quarters combat kills as well as some executions of combat/non-combat personnel/POWs rather than all actual sniping kills of enemy combatants.
(Had to delete my previous post from the quoted posts above as the forum rejects too many quotes in a row)
actually my bet is, if the fudged the numbers they just made them up or just included probables that every sniper has as confirmed....
