During the Second World War, one thing that disgusted the German Army and the Nazis was that the Soviet Red Army used women in its armed forces. Women took on a number of different roles in the Soviet military, and even took up arms against the enemy in combat roles such as tank drivers, snipers and even in bomber aircraft. The most famous use of women in the Red Army was snipers, and many racked up dozens of kills with 11,000 Germans soldiers falling victim to the female snipers.
However there was a decree ordered by many German generals that stated that any female soldier in uniform should be executed immediately on the spot. Because of this hundreds of women were shot, hanged or murdered in horrific fashion. The reason behind these executions was the sheer disgust that the Germans had for the use of women soldiers, and Hitler saw it as a great attack on traditional values and saw it as a policy of Bolshevism. There were some horrific executions including those of many partisans too, members of the resistance group in the Balkans who were also tortured and interrogated before being executed.
Famous partisans or female Red Army soldiers who were executed include: Lepa Radic, Zinaida Portnova, Masha Bruskina, Yelizaveta Chaikina and many more. Hundreds were executed by the Germans often in public, but today join us as we look at, 'The BRUTAL Execution of Soviet Women Soldiers,' and remember as always to support please subscribe.
