What really kills me about this photo, of firefighters at Pearl Harbor? The lovely woman who is second from the left? Likely ended up illegally detained in an interment camp months after this photo was taken.
You may have already seen these, but there are some pretty incredible pictures of female Red Army soldiers up on Flickr--I'm really fond of these (http://www.flickr.com/photos/damopabe/3097614719/) two (http://www.flickr.com/photos/damopabe/3212865276/). (This woman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyudmila_Pavlichenko), also.)
