    1. If only Soviet leadership saw people with the same value that mothers (usually) see their childeren.

    2. The soviets weren’t the biggest fans of female soldiers either.

      But y’know…

      What sad is that World War II video games just make up completely fictional women like Battlefield 5 and Call of Duty Vanguard when they can make missions based on real women like this her and the Soviet woman that drove a tank to avenge her Fallen husband

      Based on a small wikipedia search(for all the comments getting excited about night witches):

      The night witches are the 588 night bomber regiment, one of i think 3 woman bomber regiments formed by [Marina Raskova](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marina_Raskova)

      The woman in the picture is [Mariya Dolina](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariya_Dolina) a Pe-2 pilot of the 125th regiment.
      So different types of planes and regiments, but founded by the same person, if i got this correctly.

      (The night witches are badass too though, love the sabaton song as much as anyone else)

      The Nazis changed that stance on factories in short order as soon as things started going South for them. It was a part of Speers economic reforms. Of course that only really delayed the inevitable, with the Western allies pounding their industry into a pulp by day and night strategic bombing.

      Book by Svetlana Alexievich it really shows ahwat all these ladies had to go through not just during but after the war
