The name "Fighting Girlfriend" was requested in her petition to Stalin, and granted. Posthumously she was the first woman tanker in the Red Army to be awarded as Hero of the Soviet Union, after winning quite a few battles before the Germans finally got her with a mortar round.<br /><br />Invading Russia is probably always a very bad idea.<br /><br />-Shevek23Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030145265861917845.post-71454322688548872722014-08-26T12:07:27.802-04:002014-08-26T12:07:27.802-04:00Didn't know any of this, certainly not that it...Didn't know any of this, certainly not that it was so common to buy certain tanks for example.
