I've heard from some reputable sources, persons related to the participates in question, that the Russian woman in combat during WW2 had the highest causality rate of any organized front line group of any country.

Imagine, two weeks ago she was working a farm, the only work or socialization they ever knew was farming, after 2 weeks & couple hundred rounds of rifle range training, and now they start shooting at experienced well trained, well motivated mean ***** German troops...

Not all the German front line troops on the Eastern Front were the Sgt. Schultzs of the world.

Yeah, that what the History books say.

The people who lived thru those terrible years told me the survival rate of those unfortunate women was a lot lower.

Some book I have has that pic in black and white. Actually I think the highest loss rates in WW2 were the submarine forces. I think US submariners had like a 22% KIA/MIA rate.
