During WWII, hundreds of thousands of women served in the Red Army, including Aliya Moldagulova, an 18-year-old sniper from Kazakhstan. On January 14, 1944, Aliya's bravery and sharpshooting skills came to the fore during a pivotal fight on the Eastern Front. Despite shrapnel injury and a damaged rifle, Aliya continued to eliminate enemy soldiers, even taking on front-line fighting, an unusual move for a sniper. The ultimate objective was to capture the strategically important Nasva railway station to cut off German supply lines.
In a desperate situation, Aliya rallied her fellow soldiers after their leader fell, spearheading the attack into enemy trenches and disabling an enemy machine gun post.

The quality of your animations is quite possibly one of the best for war history on this platform, you truly outdo yourselves with each and every video

[@fulcrumsee5968]

Couldn't have said it better myself. worth the wait for quality and narration like this

[@whathell7]

this one has got to be the best. so much effort put into such a short story.

[@bull614]

I love the new animations, but I do admit I miss the original style

[@cade8986]

“Possibly one of the best” is low praise for Yarnhub

[@Spartan265]

Yup. Honestly the only flaw(and it’s minor like super minor and not a big deal) is that sometimes the animations seem stiff. Usually when someone is running. Although this time it looks excellent. Oh and I guess having the same guy do the voice over and the voices of characters can be a bit funny lol. Be kinda of cool to have other team member to voices or even maybe patreons or something. Again though super minor things. Not a big dea at all.

[@LancelotChan]

All politics aside, I can totally respect and salute to such a heroine, having grew up in so much despair and still bravely leading a charge despite all odds. These stories gave me reason to struggle on, so that by the time I meet them, I don't looked too bad compare to all these heroes by giving up prematurely.

[@LancelotChan]

The sudden change of animation style in the "memory playback" was also very innovative, deserve praising!

[@Yarnhub]

Thanks for your continued support !

Aliya, a young Soviet sniper motivating grown soldiers to fight and take the trench and stop them keeping the railroad is truly a great story from a war hero. She had a truly bad childhood, but remains a great soldier.

[@thedogethatgames]

But what a terrible end to her life though. Recovering in a hospital and an artillery strike takes her out

[@notoriginal5021]

I live in Almaty and near by my workplace is park where is her monument are. Besides her, from Kazakhstan was known another soldier woman: Manshuk Mametova, she was a machine gunner at same age as Aliya Moldagulova. Some monuments pictures them together cus they shared similar way during the war: two young girls who was brave to go to was and sadly left their lives in battlefield. Would be interesting to watch your video about her too.

[@stevemc01]

The watercolor flashback and merger back to reality threw me for a loop. Very incredible story of the Kazakhstan sniper. Also, this kinda proves that no matter how far war advances, it will always remain a slog of blood and dirt in trenches.

[@AntiBtsArmy18]

When we fight against germans, we are soldiers but when we fight against the west we are teππoπists

[@onlinebills9169]

That would be 'Kazakh sniper' as Kazakhstan is the country. Like we dont say the 'Germany sniper', or the 'France sniper'

[@AppleHistoryGuy]

I would love it if Yarnhub did a video on the Monchy 9 of Newfoundland. 9 men of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment positioned at Monchy-le-Preux during the Battle of Arras in 1917 hid behind shrubbery and defended the town from a German force anywhere from 200 - 300 men strong for 11 hours to prevent a German break through. I think it is a very cool and very underrated battle that sounds like the plot of a movie.

[@stevemaynards.g.t]

A great story of a brave girl that most of us never knew. Thank you YARNHUB for a amazing animation.

[@Sneaky_Jesus]

i think this is one of the best story's i ever heard, the story, animations, sound and the music give me chills. (good job yarnhub, great story as always)

Man, i love the little detail of Simo Hayha’s face being used as a target practice. Great video as always, this one is probably the best one yet.

[@pokefan-ix7sh]

Aliya Nurmuhametqyzy Moldagulova was a female Soviet sniper during World War II. After dying of wounds sustained in battle on 14 January 1944, she was posthumously awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union for her actions in battle.

[@BullittGT40]

War is a terrible thing but it never ceases to amaze me how it brings out the best in people in a perverse way. She certainly died a heroes death and goes to show the bravery of man or woman in trying times.

[@MrAlex_Raven]

RT had an excellent series called "War Witness" and the testimony of this female sniper getting revenge for her spotter was fantastic; taking out 5 German soldiers that attempted to advance on her in the open.

[@thethirdsicily4802]

This was an amazing video Yarnhub I must say. If it be alright I must also request that you perhaps animate stories of some of the Italians in WW2, perhaps Amedeo Guillet's heroics, the Charge at Izbushensky, or some of the many daring battles by the Folgore in North Africa? This is not to even consider downplaying the heroism of soldiers from other nations but some of the stuff the Italians ended up pulling off despite chronic supply shortages is nothing short of insane.

[@pontiacfan76]

I want to see it too. Too many stories go untold state side because it's not a American story.

[@pinstrikesentertainmentcen6968]

These stories are amazing. Thank you.

[@northbaseuk882]

This channel is top tier. Thank you for telling the stories of these heroes and heroines.

[@justman77.21]

The female name "Aliya" has an American version of "Allie". "Aliya" is the female version of the male name "Ali". Both of these names in the Semitic language mean the same thing - "that which is in heaven and extremely strong." During the war, it is very rare to get very reliable and truthful data, confirmed by witnesses, about the actions of a warrior in a real battle. She is a rare example of heroism, confirmed by official documents. The survivability of snipers, especially in the northern part of the eastern front, was so low that both belligerents quickly lost too many qualified snipers, where she also actively participated in the battles as part of her sniper unit. And her bravery and heroism in places where extremely bloody battles took place with huge losses, despite the fact that she is a woman and very young, deserve to be remembered. By the way, she's a distant relative of mine. Thanks to this channel for the truthful display of mostly unknown, but real heroes of the war of the past, and it does not matter from which country.

[@theOn2]
