Captured Soviet female soldier
At this point she’d face a better fate just trying to fight back and being shot outright. The horrors she faced before she most likely was tortured/rap3d to death.
The photo shows a female POW that will be killed, and most likely raped and mutilated within a few minutes in accordance to the German view on Flintenweiber.
On June 29, 1941, Günther von Kluge, commander in chief of the German 4th Army, ordered his subordinates: ”Women in uniform are to be shot”.
Walther von Reichenau, commander of the 6th Army, issued an infamous order ”On the treatment of Partisans, Flintenweiber and Political Commissars” in October 1941 that stated that ”degenerate broads made into POWs” were to be executed on the spot.
Ernst hammer, commander of the 75th Infantry Division issued a similar order around the same time stating that ”womenfolk in Russian uniforms are to be shot immediately on principle”.
The 4th Panzer Division had a similar order in effect also from October 1941 that said: ”Insidious and cruel partisans as well as degenerate Flintenweiber don’t belong in a POW camp but hung from the nearest tree.”
Don't get me wrong, the communist regime was indeed shitty to say the least, but it's quite alarming how your mind simply somersaulted the actual context of the photo in favor of going on a "muh Soviet horde" rant. Quite a whobbly pivot.
The Soviet’s defeninetly avenged her after they started conquering territory and the end of the war. An eye for hundreds of thousands of eyes so to speak.

The facility of Soviet revenge is all to often sighted. The Russians that entered Berlin in 1945 had raped their way through Eastern Europe - even the survivors of Aushwitz were not spared. And when they entered China, which never invaded the Soviet union, they did the same. These were not soldiers but animals.
