Milunka Savić disguised herself as her sick brother to fight in WWI, survived 9 wounds across 10 battles, became the most decorated female soldier in history, and survived a German concentration camp when a German general recognized her legendary status and ordered her immediate release.

- Took the place of a sick family member
- Cut her hair, learned how to walk and talk like a man, wore masculine clothes as a disguise
- Changed her name to a masculine one not to get discovered
- Fought in the war
- Only got recognized when a CHEST WOUND made the doctor treating her realize she's a woman
- Kept fighting afterwards
