The name Lyudmila Mykhiliuna Pavlichenko is a name not often heard when the discussion of great snipers arises. Nicknamed "The Lady of Death", Lyudmila was the deadliest female sniper of all time. She was a scourge among the ranks of both Romanian and German soldiers with a kill count of 309. Despite her modern anonymity, Lyudmila would achieve legendary status with her performance in the Battle of Odessa where she killed numerous enemy officers and soldiers as well as thirty-six Nazi snipers. This is her story.
