The commander of the 4th Field Army, Kluge, gave an order on 29.6.1941 to shoot all the women in uniform.
However, as early as 1.7.1941 the UKH told him off, even for the Germans it was too much.
It is not known how many female soldiers of the Red Army were taken prisoner by the Germans.
Torture, abuse, violence and shootings were commonplace.
Below are some examples of the treatment of female POWs by 'civilised' Germans.
In August 1941, on the orders of Emil Knoll, commander of the 44th Infantry Division's Field Gendarmerie, a woman prisoner of war, a military doctor, was shot.
In Mglinsk, Bryansk region, in 1941 the Germans captured two girls from a medical unit and shot them.
Following the rout of Red Army units in the Crimea in May 1942, an unidentified girl in uniform hid in the house of resident Buriachenko near Kerch in the fishing village of "Mayak".
On May 28, 1942, the Germans discovered her during a search.
The girl resisted the Nazis, shouting: "Shoot, you bastards! I am dying for the Soviet people, for Stalin, and you monsters will die a dog's death!" The girl was shot in the yard.
At the end of August 1942 in the village of Krymskaya in Krasnodar territory a group of sailors was shot, among them several girls in military uniform.
In Starotitarovskaya village of Krasnodar territory, among the shot prisoners of war the body of the girl in the Red Army uniform was found.
At her there was a passport on the name of Tatyana Aleksandrovna Mikhailova, 1923, native of village Novo-Romanovka.
In village Vorontsovo-Dashkovskoe of Krasnodar territory in September, 1942 have been brutally tortured military paramedics Glubokova and Yachmeneva taken in captivity.
On January 5, 1943 not far from Severny farm 8 Red Army soldiers were taken prisoner.
Among them there was a nurse named Lyuba. After long tortures and mockery all prisoners were shot.
The interpreter of the divisional intelligence service, P. Rafes said that in Smagleevka village, 10 km from Kantemirovka, which was liberated in 1943, people told how in 1941 "a wounded girl-lieutenant was dragged naked along the road, her face and hands were cut, her breasts were cut off...".
Often women captured were subjected to violence before they died.
Hans Rudgof, a soldier in the 11th Panzer Division, testified that during the winter of 1942, "...Russian nurses were lying on the roads.
They had been shot and thrown onto the road. They were lying naked... On these dead bodies ... were written obscene inscriptions".
Female POWs were held in many camps.
According to eyewitnesses, they were extremely miserable. Life in the camp was particularly difficult for them: they, like no one else, suffered from the lack of basic sanitary conditions.
When K. Kromiadi, a member of the committee for the allocation of the labour force, visited Sedlicki camp in autumn 1941, he talked to the women.
One of them, a female doctor, confessed: "... everything can be tolerated, except the lack of linen and water, which do not allow us to change or wash".
Nurses Olga Lenkovskaya and Taisia Shubina were taken prisoner in October 1941 in the Vyazemsky encirclement.
The women were first held in a camp at Gzhatsk, then at Vyazma.
In March, as the Red Army approached, the Germans transferred the women to Smolensk, to Dulag No. 126. There were few women prisoners in the camp. They were kept in a separate barracks; communication with men was forbidden.
From April to July 1942 the Germans released all the women with the "condition of free settlement in Smolensk
