The work is devoted to the 65th anniversary of Great Victory. It is about the women at World War II. It tells about Russian and British women who fought heroically against fascists. The youth should know about them.

One new area of female activity in war was in espi­onage. The Special Operations Executive used many women as secret agents. One of these women was Vera Atkins. Her job was to create «cover-sto­ries» for the spies sent into occupied Europe. She sent 39 women spies into enemy territory and also spent a year interrogat­ing German officers after the war.

Nancy Wake, from New Zealand, even led a raid on the German Secret Police. One of her male comrades said: «She is the most feminine woman I know, until the fighting starts. Then she is like five men.»

Another woman spy, Christine Granville, who was born in Poland, collected information on troop movements and helped Churchill correctly predict the inva­sion of the Soviet Union by Germany.

Noor Inayat Khan was born in Moscow in 1915. During the war she worked as a British spy in France, staying in the country even when she knew that the Germans would eventu­ally arrest her. When she was arrested she gave no information to the Germans.

Women made many other contributions to the British war effort, in fire fighting, journalism, and operating anti-air­craft guns.

The Second World War was the largest military conflict in history. The rise of Hitler and Nazi Germany in the late 1930-s brought unimaginable suffering to millions of people. Hitler was defeated in 1945 but, without doubt, Russia and the whole of the Soviet Union paid the highest price for the victory.

Marina Raskova (1912-1943 )

The girls regiments fought at Stalingrad in the winter of 1942-43 and in every battle including the Battle for Berlin in 1945. Being a fighter pilot was a tough job. Ground temperatures ranged from 40°C in summer and-50°C in winter. Some parts of the aircraft were so cold that they ripped the skin off if you touched them. All the women were excellent skiers and many learnt to take off and land their aircraft on ice and snow.

As the women pilots became more experienced, their missions became more complicated. It was the womens regiments that learnt to fly at night with their engines switched off and attack the enemy unexpectedly. The Germans feared them and called them the night witches.

Maria Smirnova (31 .03.1920 -10.07.2002) Nadya Popova 27.12. 1921 Maria Smirnova, one of the night witches of the 588th Bomber Regiment, flew 3,260 mis­sions - that is about two missions for every day of the war! One day in 1944, her squadron, led by 19-year-old Nadya Popova, flew 18 missions. But the girls didnt think of themselves as heroes or as something special, they were just doing what they felt was needed to bring victory a bit closer. Years after the war, Nadya Popova said, At night sometimes, I look up into the dark sky, close my eyes and picture myself as a girl at the controls of my bomber and I think, Nadya, how on earth did you do it? However, the death rate for pilots was very high. Serafima Tamsova-Teranenko, a former fighter pilot, recollected: To fly a combat mission is not a trip under the moon. Every attack, every bombing is a dance with death.

Lilya Litvak (18.081921 -1.08.1943) The regiments highest-scoring ace, Lilya Litvak was awarded a Gold Star of a Hero of the Soviet Union and nicknamed the White Rose of Stalingrad for her courage and skills as a fighter pilot. She once shot down an experienced Knights Cross German ace (20 kills). When the German pilot realised that he had been hit by what he thought was a schoolgirl, he tore off his decorations and threw them out of the cock­pit. Lilya was only 21 but she had already shot down 10 enemy planes. She was so short that she couldnt reach the pedals in her plane when she first started flying. Her mechanic, also a woman, had to adjust them for her. Nobody knows exactly how she died but, according to witnesses, Lilya was last seen being chased by eight (!) enemy aircraft.

After the war, the three womens regiments were broken up. Some of the former night witches carried on flying civilian aircraft for airlines such as Aeroflot, while others went back to more ordinary profes­sions. Every year there are fewer and fewer of them left to tell their story. People say that with­out the past, there cant be any future, so it is important to remember and appreciate what those amazing women did for us.

The conclusion We at all shades silent, We a wind and shout of cranes, Victims in the sky for the Native land Become the sky over it. E.Evtushenko
