T/Sgt. Frank Kwiatek, the Sniper Exterminator, was the oldest soldier in his outfit (2nd ID) at 46 years old, having been in the same platoon since 1924 and having a deep hatred for Nazis.
After his 2 brothers were killed in action in Italy, he vowed revenge.
During his first four weeks in France Kwiatek killed 22 German Snipers, 20 with his Remington, two with hand grenades and another unconfirmed dozen with his Thompson.
On his downtime, he would carve out notches on his rifle to represent his kills.
"Three more to go and I’ll have settled a promise I made when they killed my brother Ted. Then I’ll kill 25 more for my brother Jerry. After that I’m going to kill as many Germans as I can because I hate the whole Nazi system.
You see, when I kill a German I like to look right into his eyes. I like to see them drop. When they drop I can almost see a picture of my brothers smiling at me. And I’m particularly happy to shoot snipers because they’re so sneaky.
The only trouble is I want to finish off the war by myself. I think I'm going to be a very sad man when this war’s over and there are no more snipers to kill.” #hardfuckapproved #ww2 #sniper #zerofoxtrot #stayzero
