  • One of the most badass and decorated soldiers of the Great War was a woman. Serving first in the Balkan Wars, this Serbian war heroine became a celebrity when she won the Karađorđe's Star - the highest Serbian decoration - in 1914 and 1916. Those weren't her only decorations either - watch to find out more.

    The stories about Milunka are true, my great-grandfather knew her personally and often told my father about her.
    He and his brothers were in the 5th Cavalry Regiment which was under the same command as the Iron Regiment. Like Milunka, our last name is Savić, but people called my great-grandfather and his brothers Srećković (the lucky ones) because the five of them were mobilized in 1912, fought in many battles, they were demobilized at the beginning of 1919, and not one of them was seriously wounded .

    You forgot to mention that she was released from concentration camp by the order of the newly appointed German commander of occupied Serbia who was a WWI veteran as well. He asked about her when he arrived, they told him she was imprisoned and he immediately ordered her release. Even gave Nedic some scrubbing over it.
    So even the enemy had huge respect for her.

      @@serbianwarrior385 When I was in university my roommate was a guy who studied history. He did a thesis about Serbia under Nazi occupation. During his research he went to the national archives and managed to find the issue of newspapers on microfilm published by occupational forces with an article about Nedic sending Milunka to prison on the front page and rambling how Germans set her free. And public scolding of Nedic for imprisonong her. As propaganda, of course. So it's documented. He printed it out and showed the page to us.
      There are a lot of documents in Serbian archives that are ignored by public, probably due to nationalistic narrative that is being favorized in the last 30+ years. Hell, my friend even found microfilmed protest letters from Axis and Allied soldiers sent to Radio Beograd for stopping the daily broadcast of the song "Lili Marlene" on the orders from Goebbels. A lot of them are hilarious, especially those sent by British soldiers in North Africa.

    Thank you for this video ... Milunka deserved it
    One more piece of information for you. Serbian history is full of events and people who are extremely brave and who participated in strange and great events. However, one of the most interesting is Momčilo Gavrić - the youngest corporal. He participated in the First Great War. Since the Austro-Hungarians killed his family, the boy joined the army. Momčilo was 8 years old when he received the rank of corporal. As an active and brave fighter, he took part in the Cerska battle, crossed Albania with the Serbian army, participated in the battles at Kajmakčalan and the Thessaloniki front (where he was wounded). In Kajmakčalan Voivode Živojin Mišić, commander-in-chief of the Serbian army, promoted the brave little Gavrić to the rank of sergeant in 1916. Gavrić was 10 years old at the time.
    Considering that you are dealing with historical topics and events, this is my proposal ... which you might find interesting. There are many texts about Gavrić and his photos on the Internet

    As a Naginata instructor whose regular class is all female, this song has proven to be extremely inspirational;
    Shiroyaya, because of the Japanese connection, also rates highly (also reflecting my approach in preserving the 'old ways" against modern influence of sportification).
    Obviously the Polish history songs, especially Winged Hussars & Uprising, are much appreciated
    (although I would like to hear one about the dramatic escape of the Polish submarine Orzeł from Tallinn in WWII).
    Lastly, for my late father, a WWII US Navy vet who served on a 'tin can", there is Wolfpack.

    Another great female badass in the history of warfare is the Dragoon Marie Therese Figueur. She served for 22 years in the French Revolutionary Army
    under her own name and her own gender. She was shot several times and had several horses shot out from under her. Her exploits are pretty amazing
    and she even ended up serving in The Imperial Guard. Ben Thompson did a great write up on her on badassoftheweek.

    My favourites are "The last battle" and "Union".
    "The last battle" because of the story of course, but also because I was born on the fifth of May and my late grandmother was called "Jenny" and survived both bombings during WW2 at Rotterdam.
    "Union" is brilliant because of the spirit it has. "As a union we stand and united we fall". That speaks of such power from within, fighting against the odds, with so many nations, so many different cultures but with one greater goal, one big ideal.
    Those 2 songs always get me
