This is Lyudmila Pavlichenko.

In June 1941, 24-year-old Lyudmila Pavlichenko was doing her graduation in history at Kiev University when Nazi Germany began its invasion of the Soviet Union. Lyudmila, left University and volunteered for fighting the Nazis where she was requested to join the infantry. The registrar pushed Lyudmila to be a nurse but she refused. After seeing that she had completed multiple training courses they finally let her in the army as a sniper. Thus she was assigned to the Red Army’s 25th Rifle Division.

There she became one of 2,000 female snipers in the Red Army. They were called Stalin’s Snipers. Although she was in a combat role, she was only given a frag grenade due to weapon shortages. On a battlefield a fallen comrade handed her his Mosin-Nagant model 1891 bolt-action rifle. She gunned down two Nazis on the battlefield there and proved herself to her comrades.

Her total of confirmed kills during World War II was 309, including 36 Nazi snipers!
She was nightmare to the Nazis that they called her Lady Death.


Now that’s a very long story of hers said short.


When Lyudmila was asked by her Commander “How many men down?”

Lyudmila’s reply is why she is my hero.

“Not men. 309 FASCISTS down!”
