Its an interedting article.

Note that all women are snipers, though.

Super skeptical. Even Carlos Hathcock only had 93 confirmed kills, and the oppo lacked on-call artillery, of which German divisions had no shortage, not to mention mortars, panzerfausts, pack artillery, etc. And the Germans weren’t exactly worried about civilian casualties when it came to raining bombs on suspected enemy infantry or sniper positions.

Her Wikipedia entry was interesting as well.

I was once privileged to have met her (I believe) youngest daughter, who came to the USA for a graduate course that was not available in Russia at that time.

Fwiw, the FAMOUS “girl sniper” was BEAUTIFUL, despite her protestations to the contrary, when she was dressed up at age 28. Lara had a photo of her mother, that was taken at a divisional officer’s reception in the Spring of 1945.

Evidently, she became an alcoholic and died in her late 50’s from a stroke.

Speaking of Russian female snipers: I recall memoirs of a German (male) sniper who fought the war on the Russian front from 1941 to 1945 and ended up in Russian prison for several years as a POW. He presented a story of a group of Russian female snipers who where ordered to hide in trees and attack Germans from the above. While successful in the beginning of the firefight, they were all killed once the Germans realized that the young ladies can’t change their positions and picked them off one by one. Soviet commanders sent those girls to a sure death without any hesitation.

Now this portrayal of a Russian female sniper makes sense. Subject matter was somewhat celebrated back then. Saw Doughgirls (1944)last weekend, and actress Eve Arden played a Russian sniper famous for how many Nazies she shot.

She also became a public figure who toured North America and Britain, befriended Eleanor Roosevelt,

Maybe the Hildebeast was secretly channeling this woman, and not Eleanor. 🤗
