Erwin König

"He isn't dead, and do you know why? Because I haven't killed him yet."

- Konig, about Zaytsev's presumed death

Major Erwin Konig, sometimes called Heinz Thorvald, was a sniper that participated in the battle of Stalingrad. He was supposedly a Bavarian aristocrat and owned a sniper school in Berlin. He was sent to Stalingrad to kill Russian sniper, Vasily Zaytsev. At the end of a gruelling three day duel, Konig died after Zaytsev shot him in the head.
