Senior Sgt. Roza Shanina, Order of Glory.
Roza Shanina shoulders her rifle. Sniper with 54 confirmed kills. Killed in action, 28 January, 1945, in East Prussia (died of wounds suffered defending a wounded comrade). She was about 2 months short of her 21st birthday. Shanina's family certainly made their sacrifice - three of her brothers were also killed in service during the "Great Patriotic War". Best regards, JR.
