Lyudmila Pavlichenko was known as Lady Death and the Terror of Nazis. She was one of the deadliest snipers in history. (lemmygrad.ml)

How many men did you kill?

"Men? None... Fascists? 309."

Also, unlike that fash Simo Hayha, her kills have been actually confirmed.

Reading Red Valkyries right now, Lyudmila features prominently in it. I recommend highly

Best part of that image: seeing she passed away in the 70's, so NOT murdered by nazi thugs

I have always found Lady Death to be a bad moniker. Even a single Nazi popped is a great service towards Life. She saved many times more people than the number of Nazis she killed.

Ger autobiography is a great read, I highly reccomend it
