Women at the front5

The sergeant of the medical service F. Krivitskaya, who was in the field hospital, wrote to her mother in Moscow: "Mamuska, if there are commercial shops again (I was told by one pilot), send me something sweet (sweets, cookies) delicious. But if the big queues, then nothing is needed, and without delicious will manage. And if you send, then send me honey, emblems and a 16-gon. " The only thing about which, after two months of staying at the front, asked Muscovite FV Slaykovsky, were biscuits and dragees ("not necessarily, just to pamper yourself"). However, aware of the difficult economic situation of their relatives, the majority of servicemen either completely refused parcels from home, or asked that their relatives not be wasted and sent products cheaper. 

Of course, collecting the material for this topic, I got acquainted with the "harems of the commanders of the fronts" and with the Medal for Sexual Achievement. " But I refused to write about this in principle: I do not like scruples. Moreover, we are all human beings, we are all human beings, but in the war everyone survives as he can. And that Soviet women found themselves in such unattractive situations on the front in large numbers, it was primarily the fault of the Commander-in-Chief, I.V. Stalin. 

For there was no military need to send the girls into combat units. 

There were too many men at the front, and there was nothing to do there for women either.
