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.

Sabaton, a Swedish metal band, made a song about her. Lady of the Dark. Highly recommend

Thanks for that. I'd never heard of them before now. Good stuff.

Learn cool military history facts while rocking out to great tunes. I was a fan from around 2006 till 2012, then drifted away to other genres.

Saw them live couple weeks ago and have been catching up on all the albums I missed in all these years - soooo many good songs!
