Title: Soviet Women Snipers of the Second World War
Description: "Of all the jobs women could have done during the war, one of the most difficult, one of the most improbable was that of sniper. At the beginning of the war women snipers were isolated cases, but heir numbers increased rapidly with the creation of the Central Women's School of Sniper Training. They were going to be up against enemy fire, the threat of being arrested by the Germans, bad weather conditions, and having to sit still for hours and days on end."
