Avenging Angels: Young Women of the Soviet Union’s WWII Sniper Corps by Lyuba Vinogradova
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 6.6 MB
Overview: Beginning in 1942, with the Eastern Front having claimed the lives of several million Soviet soldiers, Stalin’s Red Army began drafting tens of thousands of women, most of them in their teens or early twenties, to defend against the Nazi invasion. Some volunteered, but most were given no choice, in particular about whether to become a sniper or to fill some other combat role.
After a few months of brutal training, the female snipers were issued with high-powered rifles and sent to the front. Almost without exception, their first kill came as a great shock, and changed them forever. But as the number of kills grew, many snipers became addicted to their new profession, some to the point of becoming depressed if a “hunt” proved fruitless.
