Plaster, USAR (Ret.), is an authority not only on the modern, practical side—he is the author of "The Ultimate Sniper" after all—but he is also the top author and historian when it comes to the history of snipers and the equipment they used. In this presentation, Major Plaster will discuss and show imagery of the snipers, their tactics and their equipment from World War II. He will cover both Allied and Axis armament, training and tactics of snipers in the Pacific and European Theaters of Operations.
