>>The story is about 2 snipers hunting each other amid the biggest urban battlefield in history. Inexpliccably marred by a love triangle subplot, the movie is still quite good.<<It's based on the book of the same name and the novel "War Of The Rats". Both seem to have gotten the story of Vasily Zaitsev, his duel with the German, and the love story with the girl from Zaitsev's autobiography. More contemporary scholarship has pretty much debunked the whole story as a colorful bit of propaganda but without any basis in fact.
