Toys City 1:6 German Sniper Major König Preview

Erwin König, aka Heinz Thorvald (died c. 1942), was a highly skilled Wehrmacht sniper allegedly killed by the legendary Red Army sniper Vasily Zaytsev during the Battle of Stalingrad. The 2001 movie "Enemy at the Gates" portrays a fictional account of the sniper duel between Zaytsev (played by Jude Law) and König (played by Ed Harris) during the final days of the Battle of Stalingrad.
