		So during the Battle of Leningrad, which rages on mostly offscreen, Zaitsev's deadly abilities as a sniper are heavily reported on in the Soviet press, and he does indeed become a hero, the principal sniper among many.
		Zaitsev's deadly aim even makes him famous among the Germans, who call in expert marksman Major Konig (Ed Harris), who's so famous that he arrives in Stalingrad on his own private train, watched with angry envy by German foot soldiers.
		The scenes of Zaitsev prowling the city on sniper duty are fascinating and suspenseful, and the final showdown between him and Konig is, if not vivid, well-crafted and satisfyingly climactic.

		The movie follows World War II Soviet sniper Vasily Zaitsev and his German rival, Major Erwin KÃ¶nig, as they stalk each other during the Battle of Stalingrad.
		Historian Anthony Beevor suggests in his book, Stalingrad, that, while Zaitsev was definitely a real person, the story of his duel (dramatized in the film) with KÃ¶nig is fictional.
		When Vasily* Zaitsev was embraced by Nikita Khrushchev in a press conference, shown at 49:42 of the movie in the DVD release, a 1977 revised version of the Soviet Union's national hymn was played in the background, instead of the 1943 version, in contradiction to the time of events reflected in the film.
