In the Soviet Army, women served as Snipers, Tank drivers, piloted planes and crewed AntiAirGuns(maybe other support weapons too, I dont know)

Not in huge numbers ofcourse but they were there and considering the times it was a very unusuall thing.

So yeah, there is a reason why they are here.





The Germans had much more, uh, backwards views on whats a "men's job" and whats a "women's"
so, as desperate as they were, they never deployed women, at least not in the numbers as the Soviets.

They'll make better tank drivers than men due to their, on average, smaller size. Imagine a full grown man in a T34......exactly, stuff gets squished :P.

You sound like a really funny guy! Listen, I've had trouble thinking up jokes for my shoutcasts lately - do you think you could be my official joke writer? If you can consistently write jokes like that one, you'll be a natural! Just keep those solid gold quips coming, and you'll be rewarded generously!

Yep, actually in some Russians tanks the maximum height of the crew was set to 1.75m (5'9"). The smaller you are in a tank the better.

Aye most tanks, most famously the soviet ones, were incredible tight,
the russians didnt give much about making their armour comfortable, like the americans and germans.

Guess the smaler you are, the better.

One of the more famous female tank drivers was Mariya Oktyabrskaya who was so badass that her life sounds like a movie, her husband was killed by the Nazis and rather than weeping she bought a tank with her own savings which she then turned onto the Germans:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariya_Oktyabrskaya

Much like any minority serving in a war soviet women were forgotten afterwards even though made a impact on the war, for example during the rush towards Stalingard the German 16th Panzer Division, despite having some of the best tanks in the war at the time, were stalled by some young Russians girls manning AA guns:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1077th_Anti-Aircraft_Regiment_(Soviet_Union)

As for the west, had women not taken roles in very dangerous munitions factories then no one would have had anything to shoot with and the only nation that did not use women to the fullest were the Nazis until the towards the end of the war...
