So often, we remember war heroes as men completing great feats of strength on the battlefield, saving the lives of their fellow soldiers. The stories that are all too often forgotten are those of women. These are true stories of female prisoners of war, courageous nurses taken prisoner while serving in the military to take care of those soldiers. They are the women who risked life and limb to do what they could to stop the spread of fascism.
These women are:
• A flight nurse whose plane was shot down over enemy lines only to completely confuse the German Army as to what to do with her.
• An American woman living in Germany who worked to infiltrate the Nazis to dismantle the system from the inside.
• The sole survivor of a mass murder of nurses only to have her own government silence her from telling her story.
• A feminist and political activist working to stop fascism and educate her fellow women, even while inside a concentration camp.
• A nurse who simply wanted to return to her post regardless of the torture she endured.
It is our duty to remember these women who survived the war and honor them as the true heroines they were.
