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.

Yes. Women participated in WW2 in many ways, as factory workers, hospital personnel, and others. Some of these women were in uniform, and in some countries they actually fought against the enemy.

Women also fought as snipers for the Soviet Union.

There were no female soldiers in World War 2. Instead, the woman worked in the factories to produce weapons and vehicles.

Yes, Russia (or USSR) used women in the war during WW2. The United States used women for things dealing with aircrafts, but Russia was the only country to use women in combat.
