Women in WWII were generally nurses and could work close to the front lines, but not expected to fight. In some cases they had to fight to protect themselves, but never did US women fight in battle. Soviet women were were a major exception. Women of the USSR were snipers,

tank commanders and aviation aces. They had their own squadrons, one

was the "Night Witches" and they had a distinguished record. Britain had

SOE women that parachuted into German areas. US women were under

major restrictions regarding their use in combat arenas, but 400,000 served and only 74,000 were Nurses.
