Ok, then it would be interesting to know what the reason was??
Any ideas?
I have als read in a german speaking community that the most of the snipers did not wear the sniper badge in order to avoid to be tortured or so after they will be caught by the enemie, mostly a small silver stripe was worn on the left lower sleeve, one for every ten hits, but this was not an official award.

Roland Kaltenegger is a well--known author, but this frame is pure postwar phantasie too me.
