Is there a soldier in history that has been credited with the most kills ever in a war?

Machine gun operators on Omaha beach spring to mind.

1st. I fragged a building before we cleared it and got one. FUBARD
2nd. I shot a kid (18ish) planting IEDS. Don't dig IEDS children

I also could claim a possible third. There were two of us shooting back in Afghanistan (me and fire team buddy) and I saw the guy drop in unison with my shot. It seemed by the timing I was the one that hit him, but I don't know for sure. We are still friends and debate it.

There are likely hundreds of men who fought in the Battle of the Somme, Verdun, or Passchendaele who can claim far higher kill counts.

The 3rd guy I shot from the bunker on our COP, nothing special, hit him with the M2 at about 200m.

4th was the same with a 249, about 100m, except me and my A gunner saw a tracer go through this fuckers head and he took about 3 more steps then kind of sat down. Didn't fall, just had a seat like he was tired. We both shot him about 20 more times just to make sure.

Simo Hayha.

542 confirmed. He killed more people tham that but only his sniper kills were confirmed. He also operated with am SMG in frontline combat and we can only estimate - the usual estimates bring his total to somewhere between 700 and 800.

>itt: the Soviet sniper counts were all propaganda pieces who probably only killed a handful of people before the party pulled them from the front! SIMON HAYAH KILLED 800 MEN BY HIMSELF THE FINNS WERE COMPLETELY INCAPABLE OF PROPAGANDA!

What are you, 12? Sorry, I don't carry my fucking Class A's with me to work, retard. I've been out of the Army for 4 years this September. Believe what you want, saying, "pics or didn't happen" isn't going to change the fact that it indeed did.

For any of you that are curious, this is why veterans don't share their stories here.
>UH HUH, THEY DO IT ALL THE TIME
Not nearly as much as you think. There was a thread about it not long ago, and I said exactly that. >"Everytime I tell a story I get some mouth breather bellowing 'STOLIN VALUR!!11!' at me,"
And here we are.
>>
>>30418579
Any machine gunners on the Western Front. All these fags dittoing Simo are too dumb to realize that a gunner in any one of dozens of battles would likely match Simo's kills in a single day of repelling charges.

Also, Simo is fucking awesome, but Heinrich Severloh killed 2000+ on D-Day and Hanpasha Nuradilov got 920 confirmed kills throughout WWII. Still, all those dudes kill counts pale in comparison with those gunners running Maxim guns for hours on end at an endless stream of massed infantry.

Rudel also did stuff like land his plane in the USSR to rescue a shotdown friend, then swam across a river back to German lines. After the war he kept up doing stuff like skiing and mountain climbing.
While I disagree with his political beliefs, Rudel was one hell of a man that should be respected. Even during his funeral in West Germany (Where people were going Nazi salutes despite the law) the Luftwaffe flew some F-4s over the ceremony; but claimed it was a routine exercise.

Germans killed 1 american for every 4 german present at omaha beach, their machine gunners were not the only ones there and apart from hollywood movies there is nothing to suggest that each machine gunner did god's work. Based on 85 nests and 35 pillboxes of which both probably had 2 MGs, lets say there was 155 static MG teams, that's 13 kills for each MG team if not a single other person killed any americans.

Just saying.
>>
>>30421293
Most MGs are crew severed weapons so they would not fit the 'single operator' criteria. I would expect that some WWI machine gunners killed more then Simo but no one knows for certain.
