During WWII, the Soviets thought women combat soldiers were a good idea.

That lasted about two weeks.

They did discover that women could make fantastic snipers and used many in that role.

BTW: Dr Ruth Westheimer was an Israeli army sniper.

Here is a beautiful Russian sniper from WW2. she has a Mosin Nagant rifle with original scope.. A dear friend of mine gave me one of these rifles...wish I had an original scope for it :-/

Some of the Soviets’ best snipers were women.

Made pretty good snipers though. Some were in armor also, for the haul.
