The Grim Order: Shoot All Women!

World War II's Eastern Front witnessed the German Army's brutal treatment of female Soviet soldiers, with systematic executions, torture, and concentration camp transfers contradicting all warfare conventions.

The evidence reveals a deliberate, gendered genocide that resulted in approximately 150,000 deaths, with female POWs dying at 15 times the rate of male captives. Primary Wehrmacht and SS documentation, court-martial records, and Soviet archives establish that this was institutional policy, not individual excess.
