During the Second World War, the Nazis and the German Army encountered a significant
degree of resistance in the form of different militia groups. One of them was the Partisans,
who operated in the Baltic States and wished to rid their country of the Nazis. The Nazis
had been committing massacre and genocide in the region, shipping off Jews and many
other innocent people to concentration camps such as Auschwitz, where they were
massacred in the Holocaust. The Partisans were considered the most dangerous
resistance group faced by the Wehrmacht.
One young Partisan was Lepa Radic, who was just a 17 year old girl when she was executed

I love how she said, when offered her life for the names of her fellow freedom fighters "You will
know them when they come to avenge me."

She was a good friend of my grandfather,and they were the almost same age on the same
battlefields. My grandfather was 1924,she was 1925 During early 1941 my grandfather was
first who killed gendarme in his part of Bosnia,and thet village is first which resist against
croatian ustashas and germans.Ustashe couldn't overcome a well-organized group that
included my grandfather and some of my relatives. That village is called Tramosnja. The book
says they prepared even earlier with a heavy machine gun that one of them smuggled out of
France,and one regular machine gun. The rest were rifles, guns, and the rest were captured.
Their resistance lasted several days. The ustashe called the Germans for the second day for
support.Then they retreated and organized partisan units. Most of them weren't communists.
Like my grandfather. Sorry about my bad English. Thank you for this story

She was incredibly brave and when you are 17 you haven't tasted life to the full, you are
perhaps more idealistic. Her idealism and willingness to defend those she loved should be
admired. It is not neccessarily and automatically "exceptional" to feel this way, but Lepa
represented a purer kind of love and honesty, which we all can aspire to.
Only the most evil regimes require the sort of sacrifice that Lepa made, but we must all
Only the most evil regimes require the sort of sacrifice that Lepa made, but we must all
fight smaller evils of our time with a similar dedication.

Yes I am German. And despite my age, I was born into the Love and Peace Generation, I am
still ashamed of the deeds of the Nazis today. Although I can't help it. Nobody should ever
forget the time that brought so much suffering to our earth. Millions of victims on all sides,
civilian and military, including on the German side. No one needs to join a peace movement.
Just turn on your brain.

Today's teens have no idea what it means to fight and survive against evil odds. Lepa is a true
heroine and should be taught next to Joan of Arc and Florence Nightingale.
