yes thats the one, not 100% sure if the same is written on the monument where he is buried now though.

Ed,

According to Wikipedia, the quote on the monument is exactly as you mention.
I believe I've read somewhere that Zaitzev simply adapted the original proclamation of Chuikov, making it a kind of citation he used a lot with other snipers, probably to help motivating him and the others.
Anyway, I guess these are simply two different translations of the original sentence in Russian.
I just wanted to say that it's not Zaitzev who initially created that sentence, but instead it was Chuikov :thumbsup
