Question

was the only country in World War II to use women in battle.

Answer 1

The Soviet Union was the only country in World War II that prominently used women in combat roles. The Red Army included women as snipers, pilots, machine gunners, and in other front-line capacities. Notable examples include the Night Witches, all-female bombing regiments, and female sniper Lyudmila Pavlichenko, who became one of the most successful snipers in history. While other countries did involve women in various support roles during the war, the Soviet Union's integration of women into direct combat roles was particularly notable.
