Simon Menner 与自然环境浑然天成的狙击手，Simon Menner 是一名艺术家，他最近花费了大量的时间来研究德国陆军狙击手的隐匿照片，在一个很自然的环境里你是否能够发现有狙击手的存在呢？

狙击手(Sniper)原指从隐蔽工事射击的人，现在人们常常把经过特殊训练，掌握精确射击、伪装和侦察技能的射手称为狙击手。狙击手已经成为特种作战行动中不可或缺的重要角色。狙击手常常是特种战斗行动决定性的关键因素，甚至，一名出色狙击手的行动本身，就可能是一次特种作战的全部。越战时，平均每杀死一名士兵需要20发子弹，而一名狙击手却平均只需1.3发。 他们的眼神深邃，步伐坚定沉稳，通常一弹杀一人。如果失手可能就是射手一生中最后一枪。如果没有老练的射手扣动扳机，再好的枪也没用。

潜伏是狙击手必须掌握的基本技能按性质分，狙击手的任务有指定狙杀、随队观察、火力支援、巡逻狩猎、非硬性装备破坏与定点清除等。狙击手漫长的等待过程，并不如表面看上去那么平静与悠闲。他需要独立地完成野外观察与追踪、地图判读、情报搜集与分析、进入与撤退路线安排、作战计划拟定等准备工作。

An artist by the name of Simon Menner was recently given the opportunity to spend time with the German Army. In particular, two German Army snipers. Perhaps the most important aspect of being a sniper is to conceal yourself and blend into the surroundings. In the following photos, they did that… very, very well.

In fact, even when they’re pointed out, it’s still difficult to see them. That’s how good they are at becoming one with nature to effectively position themselves.

As brilliant as Simon’s artistic work is, it’s somewhat haunting to realize the inability to spot a sniper has cost millions their lives over the years. To go through these photos for entertainment is one thing, but to face it in reality is nearly unimaginable.
