Katya Miskina, 18, sniper of the 347th Rifle Regiment, was found dead on a frosty morning in Stalingrad.

Her pale, naked body sprawled over a pile of rubbles, wrists firmly tied behind her back, eyes frozen in agony, mouth gape open in a silent scream.

Crystallised splatters of blood and semen coated her lower body, they sparkled like morning dew in the winter sun. The wooden stock of her Mosin-Nagant rifle and globs of large intestines protruded out of her shapely rear.

Brutally raped then impaled on her own gun, the poor girl provided hours of entertainment for her captors.
