Many of these snipers are pretty, and Roza Shanina is an exceptionally beautiful woman. Only Pajamaboy and other San Francisco liberals could resist her (and liberals wouldn't even be tempted - unless she had a brother). Her Mosin Nagant is attractive too.

Boy we have had some real dogs in the last 65 years, aka; Truman, JFK ( yes he wasn't that good, he went to Dallas because he was loosing Texas ), Nixon ( depending upon my day and mood, LBJ who was a bleeping disaster worse than FDR, not to mention Jimma Carter and Lear Deeder.
Ike was better than anyone will give him credit, maybe Patton would have been Ike on Steroids.
However, I must take exception to a sentence in the article that said “semiautomatic” rifles. I am not aware of any semiautomatic rifle used by the Russian forces as a sniper weapon. If someone has information that I am not aware of please post such info.
I would but am an acknowledged sick bast--d! Nobody is perfect and when you go to bed at night and realize you might wake up dead, makes life interesting!
Thank you and lol.
They had some cuties.
Wow... BUMP!
Very interesting post.
George Patton would have been for better or worse a Donald Trump kind of a president considering his ability to speak bluntly about things.
General Eisenhower became a great RINO Eastern Establishment president after he took out Robert Taft to win the nomination in 1952.
He stabbed the British and French in the back at Suez in November 1956, then forced an Israeli withdrawl from the Sinai and looked the other way while the Soviet crushed the Hungarian revolution.
At Geneva in 1955, Ike’s Sec. of State, RINO John Foster Dulles partitioned French Indo-China to create Communist North Vietnam. In a few years Ho Chi Minh was trying to spread his ideology to South Vietnam and the rest is history.
That’s how our Uniparty system works, the Republicans under Ike set up the Communists in North Vietnam, leading to Lyndon Johnson’s Democrat debacle in the Vietnam War and Republican Nixon’s fake ‘peace agreement’ with the Commies in 1973.
I remember what Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote in “The Gulag Archipelago”. Solzhenitsyn was an artillery officer in WW II.
He said the orders in the Red Army were that “German women could be raped and shot” while Polish and Russian girls could be ‘stripped naked and chased around’.
The women were ‘equal’ in the Soviet Union, but they could definitely be treated bad, too.
So, this is where Hillary picked up this line.....................
Approx. 185,000 Mosin sniper rifles were produced. (page 211 of the collectors book I put a link to.) Hard to find an original one as many were refurbished into regular 91/30 rifles, though there are many repros out there for around $700. The Finnish soldier, Simo Haya used a Mosin to kill many of stalin’s soldiers.
Don’t forget that Eisenhower also gave us Chief Justice Earl Warren.
Pics of hot female soviet snipers with their Mosins, here.
Wow! Small world theory at work.
Yes, indeed he did.....I think Ike’s best moment was the end of his presidency when he gave the farewell message warning about the ‘military industrial complex’.
Ike was perhaps realizing he was tool of Rockefeller Republican elites and their agenda.
Those defense contractors would end buying many politicians up to and including John McCain.
Pavlichenko was sent to Canada and the United States for a publicity visit and became the first Soviet citizen to be received by a US President when Franklin Roosevelt welcomed her to the White House. Pavlichenko was later invited by Eleanor Roosevelt to tour America relating her experiences. While meeting with reporters in Washington, D.C. she was dumbfounded about the kind of questions put to her. “One reporter even criticized the length of the skirt of my uniform, saying that in America women wear shorter skirts and besides my uniform made me look fat”.[3][8] Pavlichenko appeared before the International Student Assembly being held in Washington, D.C., and later attended CIO meetings and made appearances and speeches in New York City and Chicago. In Chicago, she stood before large crowds, chiding the men to support the second front. “Gentlemen,†she said, “I am 25 years old and I have killed 309 fascist occupants by now. Don’t you think, gentlemen, that you have been hiding behind my back for too long?†Her words settled on the crowd, then caused a surging roar of support.[9] The United States gave her a Colt semi-automatic pistol. In Canada she was presented with a sighted Winchester rifle now on display at the Central Armed Forces Museum in Moscow. While visiting in Canada along with Vladimir Pchelintsev (fellow sniper) and Nikolai Krasavchenko (Moscow fuel commissioner) they were greeted by thousands of people at Toronto’s Union Station.
On Friday November 21, 1942, Lieutenant Pavlichenko visited Coventry, UK, and accepted donations of £4,516 from Coventry workers to pay for three X-ray units for the Red Army. She also visited Coventry Cathedral ruins, then the Alfred Herbert works and Standard Car Factory from where most funds had been raised. She had earlier in the day inspected a Birmingham factory.[10]
Having attained the rank of major, Pavlichenko never returned to combat but became an instructor and trained Soviet snipers until the war’s end.[5] In 1943, she was awarded the Gold Star of the Hero of the Soviet Union,[11] and was commemorated on a Soviet postage stamp.

given the quality of that particular photo, I'm calling it bogus........
Compare it to the others of that era and they don't even come close............
