Synopsis

This manga chronicles the experiences of the Soviet women who fought on the front lines, on the home front, and in the occupied territories. These women—more than a million in total—were nurses and doctors, pilots, tank drivers, machine-gunners, and snipers. They battled alongside men, and yet, after the victory, their efforts and sacrifices were forgotten.

Background

Characters: Painfully real. 10/10

Enjoyment: I ...

The first 3 chapters might feel weak but from the 4th chapter onwards everything is brutal

You can start reading from any chapter as each chapters give different testimonials which don't necessarily correlate with each other
