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, which was occupied by both German and American soldiers.

Shortly after fatally wounding Private Adrian Caparzo, the sniper was shot and killed by Private Jackson, whose expert shot penetrated the sniper's scope and hit him directly in the eye, killing him instantly.
