In 1942 Guards junior lieutenant Ljudmila Pavlichenko (she was 26 at the time) was in US with a visit of 'good will' or one might say for shaming American men.
Like look - in Russia women are fighting. Even women are not afraid of Wehrmacht. Where is your god damn 'Second Front in Europe'? Stop chicken-sh****ting Germans.
Go out fight them.

By that time she already had more then 150 kills.

Quiz time: What rifle is in the picture?
This is Ms.Pavlichenko favorate system.

Tokarev...... SBT-40? Something like that.

edit: or is it SBD-40? I can't find my small arms encyclopedia.

And thats why I married a canadian chick...:rotfl:

So thats why those russians are so easy to shoot down in in Il2.:rotfl:

I think I wouldn't like to sleep with them unless they take shower.
They must be smelling bad like a skunk.

After shower, I won't mind rocking their world though :sunny:

Looks like its a Mosin Nagant M91/30 7.62x54mm bolt action sniper rifle with PU scope mounted. :up:

mmmmmm.... I don't think so, look at the position of the breech. On a Mosin-Nagant the scope would interfere with the movement of the bolt.
Most likely a Tokarev semi-auto.

That's an old pic of four American cargo crewwomen. They served on different planes but got together for that picture.

And to all you guys copying and pasting it (and mcf1, the original poster), did none of you notice that it's a .png file? 421 thousand bytes?

You're right.
It's SVT-40

Colonel Marie Ljalková was a Czech sniper in the Soviet Army during World War II.
She was credited with at least 30 confirmed kills during the war,
and earned recognition with the Soviet Order of the Red Star
and the Czechoslovakian War Cross.

:down: :nope: lay off the sauce bruno, it's getting old. On the other hand, with blinkers like that you have a promising career in local government here, without a doubt. :roll:

So, what your relative (a British subject) was doing in Nazi Germany?:hmm:

I hear they are still looking for a replacement for this guy :hmm:

Not my relative, to be clear.

There were many nationalities in Germany at the end of the war; men, women, officials, military, civilian, red cross, religious charities, refugees... Why must the assumption be (based upon a couple of sentences on a forum) that it must have been nazi sympathisers?

You cannot uphold such a statement without more information to clarify, nor point and cry 'Nazi!' with such haste. Such readiness to accuse circumstance and act upon is unwise.
We have a saying here in britain: "Look before you leap." Many in the past and the present would still have their lives at the hands of others, were this better considered, Bruno :hmm:

I dare say there were more Russian Nazi sympathisers then British. What about all those 'Ost Batallions'? Or even the defection of an entire Russian army?

Darn it!........should have paid more attention to the scope mount! :damn: :oops: :D
