Also keep in mind that most of those early kills were against us allies... as Russia switched sides late in the war. The article dances around that.
Would that were such a woman , with a burning hatred for Democrat politicians nowadays
Actually, no. Look at the timeframe. The Red Army didn’t have much need for sniping like that until after Operation Barbarossa.
“When German forces invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, Pavlichenko felt called to action. She left school, hoping to volunteer for the Red Army’s 25th Rifle Division.”
She wasn’t even in service until after Barbarossa.
I’d be interested in an outline of your view of WW2 history, especially Russian actions against US Allies or describing 1940 as “late in the war”.
