During the war, many soldiers made themselves a name in the field of battle. And one of those is Bruno Sutkus, a sniper from the 68th Infantry Division, 196th Grenadier Regiment.

Backstory
Bruno was born in 1924 in Tannerwalde, however his family moved to Konigsburgs. His father was a Lithuania, thus he had to apply for to be a national German, which he got in 1943. In 1938 he joined the Funny Mustache Man Youth and became a member of the SA. His sharpshooter skills were recognized and was given a rifle and in 1943 he trained from August to December before he was assigned to the 68th Infantry Division as part of the 196th Grenadier Regiment.
Some more stuff about him

Being born in the USA and with ties to my Russian and Lithuanian family, yes the reds need to be taught a lesson. Not that i want to turn on my own people, but anything to chip away at the Soviet bias, special soldiers included.
I’d love to see more people’s suggestions on things like this, because then at least the players can choose special soldiers instead of having random ones pulled out of the void by the devs. What I find funny is you can still use this soldier in any Squad assuming it’s not tied to an event Squad or premium. That’s a plus 20% XP bonus and the best part is it’s a sniper soldier, if people didn’t like it they can just remove the scope off of the weapon then you essentially have another rifleman.
Sniper class is useless its for fun. Thanks too many soviets role-playing as Vasily Zaitsev we win some games xD But overall all its like one of the worst classes that you can play super weak class.
Play them in custom matches mostly, rarely find a good use case for a real game sometimes on a flank to support but then an MG would do that better so yeah. Best use of snipers to date was in Tunisia on the side of the objective when troops were poring in to a large building and I artilleryed the point ahead and used the colt swartz like a br 1 smg. So… no not very powerful in themselves. I love them though but yeah they are compromise in almost every sense.
