Puke. The sniper vs sniper really happened in Stalingrad. The Germans sent in a regiment of their best snipers to take on the Russian Snipers.

The duel between the German officer and the Russian happened. As did the love story. But the girl was injured and removed from the front. Years later she finally met up with the love of her life but by this time he had married and had children. The german officer sniper was killed by a sniper named Vassili ( Not the general )

All this took place over a span of about 3 weeks around December of 42.

I read the book Enemy at the Gates, and the whole story took only 2 pages in the book, but over 2 hours on the screen. I thought it was a good movie, but I've always been more interested in the Germans vs USA movies that have been coming out since the war started. Good movies like the Dirty Dozen, Kelly's Heroes, the Great Escape, Where Eagles Dare (where's the darn DVD?!!!!), and Battle of the Bulge have always been my Favorites.
