oh yes, there were really sniper duels in Stalingrad. But you are either a victim of Russian propoganda, popular mythology, or popular mythology resulting from propoganda. attend:

though the love affair appears to have been real, the duel is a matter of dispute in historical circles. i have never found any credible evidence that it actually happened, and only fairly convincing evidence that it did not. therefore, i tend to sit in the camp that chalks it off as a work of propoganda.
