Lady Death

Lyudmila Pavlichenko va ser una franctiradora de la exèrcit rus durant la WWII, la més letal de tots els temps. D'aquí el sobrenom de "Lady Death". Li van comptabilitzar 309 soldats alemans morts! 

Lyudmila Mikhailovna Pavlichenko, (Russian: Людми́ла Миха́йловна Павличе́нко, (née Belova; 12 July [O.S. 30 May] 1916 – 10 October 1974) was a Soviet sniper in the Red Army during World War II, credited with 309 confirmed kills, making her the most successful female sniper in recorded history.

Lyudmila was nicknamed "Lady Death" due to her incredible ability with a sniper rifle. She served in the Red Army during the Siege of Odessa and the Siege of Sevastopol, during the early stages of the fighting on the Eastern Front.

After she was injured in battle by a mortar shell, she was evacuated to Moscow. When Pavlichenko recovered from her injuries she trained other Red Army snipers, and was a public spokesperson for the Red Army. In 1942, she toured the United States, Canada, and Great Britain. Once the war ended in 1945, she was reassigned as a Senior Researcher for the Soviet Navy. She died of a stroke on 10 October 1974, at the age of 58.
