Some time between June 9th and June 11th, 1944, this German sniper (Leos Stransky) had taken up a position in a bell tower in the French town of Neuville. The town was occupied by German and American soldiers, and soon the German was presented with an easy target. A group of American Rangers were arguing about taking a young French girl with them to a place of a safety. Shortly after the Ranger captain grabbed the girl from the arms of one of his men, the sniper fired and hit the Ranger soldier, a Private Adrian Caparzo. As he scanned the area for other targets, the sniper was shot and killed by his Ranger counterpart, Private Jackson. So accurate was Jackson's shot, it had passed through the German's scope and into his eye, killing him instantly.
