Vassili Zaitsev - Soviet sniper and hero of Stalingrad on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Vassili Zaitsev - Soviet sniper and hero of Stalingrad on Flickr - Photo Sharing!: "In a ruined flaming city on the Volga river at a turning point in Russia's history Zaitsev gave his people hope and inspired them,He said 'For us there is no land beyond the Volga!' That became the catch phrase of the battle with every soldier of the 62nd Army repeating it.
Marshall of the Soviet Union - Twice Hero of the Soviet Union Vasily Chuikov once said 'What soldier from the battle for Stalingrad does not know the name of Vassili Zaitsev?'"
