A cuckoo is a military slang term for a sniper, disguised in a sprawling tree. This word has been particularly applied to the Finnish Winter War snipers and the World War II German snipers, who took pot-shots at enemy troops from hidden vantage points. During World War II, before 1944, the German high command left many cuckoos behind as their armies retreated, in order to delay the Soviet rush.
