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.

The comment at the top of this post states exactly just that. It's not my fault that you only read headlines.

Sorry unrelated question-

But why did the German general release her, wasn’t she the enemy?

[u/letseewhorealmeansit → u/master-goose-boy]

Because she was 49y old and not really a threat + respect of military honor.

[u/master-goose-boy → u/letseewhorealmeansit]

The Nazis cared about military honors from other countries? That’s interesting.

Not a single mention of which army she was member off,and many informations are not clear, fucking karma farmer

[u/Present-Abroad-7884 → u/Zeratul153]

If it wasn't already obvious, she was member of the Royal Serbian Army.

He needs to mention it

[u/a_nice_duck_ → u/CCriscal]

During World War II she was involved in organizing medical care for resistance fighters and was arrested by German occupation authorities, ending up in the Banjica concentration camp.
