The reason Crooks was there was to be the fall guy.

If crooks was shot in the back of the skull, his face would not be recognizable in the photo. It would be a mangled mess of torn flesh and mostly cavernous. The back of his skull is blown out since the shot went basically through his eye (soft tissue) before hitting the back of the skull the round would not have been tumbling until it hit the back of the skull on its way out.
The reason they call it a one in a million is because the SS sniper could only see the scope of Crook's rifle, his eye and the top of his forehead. But at that distance with that training, I don't really think it would have been that difficult of a shot for those guys. Not the easiest, but probably not making them sweat either.

The AR standard .223/5.56 mm NATo is still a .22 calliber round. It is just packed with a bunch more powder and a bit heavier than a normal .22LR sport. A sonic rifle round is going to destroy the other side of whatever it is coming out of because once it hit the first hard surface (the back of skull) the deformation process happens instantly and it is now flattening out in real time while it is still travelling at high velocity, which is where the massive trauma comes from.
