By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/soviet-female-snipers-whom-the-nazis-feared-like-fire.htmlWhen Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union in June 1941, hundreds of thousands of Soviet women went to the front as nurses, staff employees, cooks and even snipers. More than 2,000 women were trained in the art of sniping and sent to the most dangerous combat areas. Away from their detachments, the women were forced to lie for hours in the trenches, not moving, so that they would not be discovered, and wait for the perfect moment to shoot.
