A guards company of Anna Kornakovas would not be too shabby either.

Antonina Kotliarova – she was supposedly a sniper but liberated Warsaw with a submachinegun. (Ok - don't fancy this lady - then what about -)

“A.D. What was the usual distance you fired from?

At the school or at the front?

A.D. At the front.

1200 meters, and 200 meters. Our lines were close. Once Germans attacked our trench and took some girls prisoner, and killed them there. They killed Klava Monakhova. Only one soldier survived, there was an abandoned dug-out, simply a hole in the soil covered with a ground-sheet with snow on top, he hid there. Germans held out for a day, so he spent the day there. “

So it was a serious request tongue.gif

Cultural taste and dietary issues aside, I have seen photos of attractive women in Soviet service. But there's a lot of stereotyping in your comment, which is hardly complimentary upon your outlook and/or erudition. :rolleyes:
