Mariya Oktyabrskaya was working as a nurse for the Soviet Union army during World War 2.
Her husband was a soldier in the Army but he was killed in battle by the N***s in 1941.
Sadly, Mariya didn't know about her husband's death until two years later.
Saddened by the news of her husband's death, Mariya sold everything she had, bought a military Tank and donated it to the Soviet army.
Then, she asked that the tank be named "fighting girlfriend" and that she should be allowed to drive the tank into battle.
This was a strange request but the Russian government was eager to get extra hands in the battle and so, they approved her request.
Mariya fought her first battle on 21st October 1943. She drove her tank and damaged German machine gun nests. She also killed a large number of German soldiers with her tank.
While the battle was going on, the tank got damaged and Mariya got out of the tank to repair it while under heavy fire.
After her first battle, she was promoted to the rank of Sergeant and she fought a few more battles for the Soviet Union, while becoming a constant nightmare for the Germans.
On 17th January 1944, Mariya went into battle as usual but it was sadly her last battle.
It so happened that while under heavy fire from the enemy, her tank got damaged and once again she stepped out of her tank to make some repairs.
She finished the repairs but as she was about to head back into the tank, she was hit by fragments of a nearby shell explosion and she lost consciousness.
Mariya remained in coma for 2 months and died on 15th March 1944.
Indeed, she was a hero.
