Interesting. I think the book War of the Rats covered this sniper duel as well (albeit fictionally so).

And Enemy at the Gates is absolutely one of the worst war movies I've ever seen. The river attack scene is good, but other than that there's nothing in that movie worth seeing. I wanted to strangle my DVD when Ed Harris started walking out in broad daylight like he was out for a stroll in the park.  ::)

Also the single most bizarre and out of place sex scene that I've ever seen in a movie.

I actually really liked the casting, but they weren't given a workable movie to star in.
