Red Army female soldiers did not have a life to envy. The Germans called them "rifle broads." I believe there
was
actually a German Directive to kill female soldiers outright, similar
to the 'commando order'. Their fellow Russian male soldiers called them
"field mattresses." The propaganda machine is quick to replace that with
the timeless woman-knight archtype ('polianitsy'). Behind the lie of
smiling hyper-snipers was a war against life itself.
Nobody knows
how many times it ended like this. You see a photograph like this and
wonder about the human mind on the other side of the lens. Was he
documenting reality, possibly the nihilism of war? Or is she a hunting
trophy. Imagine how many hands and minds a photo from early
1940s,
taken by a nobody halfway around the world and long dead, of 1 subject
out of tens of millions, has to go through before it meets us here I
remember Mark Felton did a thing on Russian women soldiers. I remember
him saying the Germans were very
surprised to find women as
soldiers during Barbarossa. This did not happen in their invasions of
France and Poland. They did not expect this and were unsure what to do
with them. I thought he said Himmler and then Field Marshall Keitel made
a directive that women POWs were not to be brought to POW camps but
shot in the field immediately on capture.
The idea of women on the battlefield was absurd to nazi ideology, and they saw it as an example of Bolshevik
immorality to put a woman on the battlefield. The communists saW men and women as equals - they saw
all
people as equals - under the theories of communism. Later in the war,
the Soviet Union had all female sniper units, all female antiaircraft
batteries, some tank
personnel and even fighter pilots. For
contrast, not even the US or Gr Britain allowed women to fly planes. But
these women knew very well to not be captured and what awaited them.
Having said that, the mortality of Russian men who made it to POW camps
was around 50% in this self described War of Annihilation.
The
weird thing about this is that the Nazis were absolutely obsessed with
the Teutonic past. They were obsessed with Germanic paganism, the
Germanic warrior ideal, and all of that. And then were like, 'But women
can't fight. They're too pretty and weak to fight." Meanwhile, the old
Teutonic tribes (and their Celtic cousins)...oh, the women could
absolutely hold their own in battle! To the point that the warrior woman
became a staple of their legends and myths! We see this reflected in
later Viking legends and mythology as well (the concept
of the Shieldmaiden, the Valkyries, Brynhilde in the Volsungasaga, Lagertha). And let's not forget that
Saxon
England (the Saxons being descendants of the Teutonic tribes) had
Aethelflaed well into the Christian era (not to mention an entire
history of both real and legendary Celtic and Briton warrior queens
before
her like Gwendolyn and Boudica). The warrior woman never stopped being a
part of that Germanic spirit. In fact, if you read the Roman histories,
in both their encounters with the Celts and the Teutonic tribes, they
were more terrified of the women soldiers than the men. By many, many
leagues. Tacitus said of the Celts, "A single Celt could fight off an
entire Legion if he called on the aid of his wife."

The image of a
female warrior was created not by the party, but by the selfless labor
of women on the battlefields and in the rear. From the very beginning of
the war, women nurses dragged wounded Soviet soldiers to the rear under
fire. Washerwomen washed their hands to the bone, but provided the
soldiers with clean linen. Women workers worked tirelessly in the fields
and factories while the men were at the front. Women partisans and
radio operators fought behind enemy lines.
Liberal propaganda
overlooks the fact that such phenomena were not systematic, but
sporadic. The punishment in the Soviet army for rape is execution. And
if it was normal for US troops to have sexX with German women in
exchange for a chocolate bar or cigarettes, in the USSR they strictly
monitored the execution of punishment.
Gorbachev's task was to
complete the destruction of the USSR, during perestroika, many lies
appeared, which still has to be exposed.
The word polyanica exists
only in Russian folklore and was not widely used either in the 20th
century or in the 21st. I don't want to upset you, but the current
Russian government is pursuing an anti-communist line.
At the state level, there is not a single person who would exalt Stalin or praise the Soviet Union.
On
the contrary, there is a policy of repentance.for the actions of the
USSR, pouring slop on the communists and the achievements of the Soviet
