A lady as deadly as she was foxy, Lyudmila Pavlichenko killed 309 enemy soldiers for the Red Army during World War II, making her the most successful female sniper of all time. Upon voluntarily enlisting in the army, she declined to join as a nurse and instead requested to enlist as infantry, where despite being wounded in combat she eventually rose to the rank of Major. She was honored as a Hero of the Soviet Union and also received as a hero in the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States, where she met President Roosevelt and was gifted a Colt automatic pistol.
