Captain C Shore's enthusiasm
for firearms led him to take every possible opportunity to try out different
weapons, ammunition and methods of shooting. The result of all his
investigations is this practical guide to the sniperıs art in World War
II.
His interest was combined with sound common sense and he would never
consonance a rumour about a practical weapon or incident unless he was able to
confirm it for himself. As a result, everything in this text is based on his
personal experience.
In World War II, Captain
Shore took part in the British landings
at D-Day and he fought in Normandy and
Northern Europe. He came across many different
weapons in varying conditions, some of the worst being those used by the Dutch
and Belgian resistance fighters. He was keen to learn from experienced snipers
and then to train others and he became an office sniping instructor at the
British Army of the Rhine Training Centre. He shares a wealth of first-hand
knowledge of different rifles, pistols, machine guns, ammunition, telescopes,
binoculars, and all the equipment a sniper should carry. With British snipers to
the Reich is not only an account of sniping in World War II but also a guide to
all aspects of sniping based on personal knowledge and experience in training
and in battle.
