The thirst for vengance is not easily quenched, some times you drink from such cup until you drown in the sorrow.

thanks for good picture and story about russian heroine.
In Red army were popular named tanks. And many tanks and aircraft were build on donations of soviet people
I don't know it's true or propoganda legend. In 1943 Children in Omsk donate their poket-money to build light tank T-60 named Малютка (baby) on that tank fought another women-tankman Ekaterina Alekseyevna Petlyuk.
Unfourtanly exist only russian-language article in wilipedia about that
ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9C%D…
and article about "Fund of defence" a special bank account for donations from the soviet people
ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A4%D…
Examples of named vehicle:
1) Soviet pilot ace Ivan Kozhedub at named aircraft "from collective farmer Konev"

2) escadrille builded on donate of moskow theatre. inscription on airplanes: "the Maliy Theater for the front"

3)Is-2 with lettering "vengeance for brother-hero"

A melancholy piece that perfectly captures the grief which one fears must underpin the grim determination 'The Fighting Girlfriend' displayed throughout her War and the Great Patriotic War in general.

Però, alcuni/e soldati/esse sono capaci di combattere con il passato nel cuore anche a gran costo...
Un pò mi ricorda Eren Jaegar di Attack on Titan, per essere sincero!

Non c'è dubbio! Per fare un esempio, se pensi alla distruzione che si abbatté sull'Unione Sovietica, che durante la guerra ebbe tra i 18 e i 24 milioni di morti, dei quali circa la metà civili, è facile immaginare quanti soldati dell'Armata Rossa combattessero convivendo col dolore di chissà quanti cari uccisi, chissà quanti villaggi bruciati o città rase al suolo...

This could be a movie poster!
And I would watch that movie.

Thanks!
This story would be indeed a great subject for a gritty dramatic/war movie.
On tanks and tankers, instead, I'm waiting for "Fury" to come out in Italy (on late January, goddamn 'em!)...it's about 'muricans kicking asses on incredible levels, as usual, but at least it seems less rethoric, darker and more cynical than your standard Hollywood war movie. Let's hope it will be worth the hype!

England and America faced only a bunch of divisions, and probably not Germany's best, in both their Southern and Western front, so yeah, it's a bit funny to see jerry represented as a goofy amateur in most movies - and the western allies' like if they did most of the job all by themselves. This feeling is summed up in the movie Patton, in a scene in which Patton willingly forget to mention the ruskies during a speech, even if his aide-the-camp constantly whispers "don't forget the russians!" in the general's ears! What a movie.
Anyway, yes, a german tank movie would be great nevertheless - the german submarine movie, Das Boot, is a masterpiece!

I think that "Fury" movie has 2 big Tank Movie problems:
1) Apparently every German tank is a Tiger
2) Pola Raksa is not in it
Also I keep confusing Brad Pit with Leo DiCaprio... can't remember who of those played in this film.
