Nothing like a dame

[Mad Baron]

Here is an observation, as an old infantry soldier myself (but not of WW2 vintage--haha--I'm not that old)...

The woman with the sniper rifle (due to a scope?) seems to be holding the common Soviet Mosin-Nagant carbine. I have one of these at home today (and provide a somewhat poor scan).

I also provide an internet image of the same rifle.

The rifle's bolt ''handle'' does not come down alongside the rifle as pictured with the Soviet woman's rifle. It is always above a parallel plane with the rifle.

Just a little trivia, and I supect the wartime photo may have been doctored just a teeny bit for a better picture??
