On 22 June 1941, in order to realize its ambition of dominating the world, Nazi Germany set its sights on the Soviet Union, tore up the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact," gathered 190 divisions, totaling 5.5 million men, 4,900 aircraft, 3,700 tanks, 47,000 artillery pieces, and 190 warships, divided into three army groups, and launched an attack on the Soviet Union.
In the early period of the Soviet-German war, because the fascist attack was too sudden, the Soviet plan was not sufficient, the Soviet army was caught off guard, all the way to the rout, and a lot of land and the Soviet people fell into the hands of the German army. But those men did not choose to sit still, but to resist the German invasion as best they could. It is like the smallest heroine of the Soviet Union, Gina Portnova, who once infiltrated the headquarters of the German army alone, poisoned hundreds of Nazis, and then unfortunately was arrested and died under the persecution of the Nazis.
Gina Portnova, whose ancestral home is Vitebsk Oblast, Belarus, was born in 1926 in an ordinary family in Leningrad, with parents and a younger sister. Gina lived a carefree life as a child, and in the summer of 1941, Gina went on vacation to her grandmother in the village of Zuya in Belarus as usual.
However, when the German army invaded the Soviet Union and Belarus was occupied by the German army, Gina and her family became refugees. The Germans opened as many as 260 concentration camps in the occupied territories, and a large number of Soviet people worked as coolies. Gina and her family were also humiliated by the Germans, which planted the seeds of resistance in her heart. She then came into contact with the Soviet Young Avengers, and although Gina was only 15 years old at the time, people were mostly precocious during the war years.
In the organization, Gina was given many tasks, including sending intelligence to Soviet news agencies, pasting resistance leaflets, monitoring the movements of German Nazi troops, and stealing German weapons. Although Gina's battlefield is not full of bullets, it is no less dangerous, but Gina can complete those tasks unharmed in the end. In order to work better, Gina also learned how to use weapons, including explosives, and had the opportunity to participate in further sabotage operations.
The organization needed to infiltrate the German officers' logistics department as an undercover agent to disrupt the massive German air raids in the coming week. Later, the cadet canteen of the Wehrmacht Officer Training Center in the village of Obol was recruiting workers there, and Gina saw the opportunity to enter and work in it, so that Gina was able to enter and exit the Nazi blockade area almost without hindrance, without suspicion.
According to Gina's plan, she only needs to poison the meals in the canteen to poison the German pilots, so the air raid plan naturally cannot continue. However, the control of the German canteen was very strict, and the important matters in the canteen were handled by the German chef himself, and in order to ensure safety, no one had contact with the food, not even the cutlery. After Gina was put in, she was engaged in cleaning the floor and pouring sewage. Even the meal would be tested for poison herself, and Gina had no chance to act.
Gina finally arrived, and although the test of poison may cost her own life, Gina still put the rat poison that had long been hidden on her body into the German food. Gina was also very witty, and after eating the poisoned meal, she managed not to show abnormalities, and the food went to the German table smoothly. Gina hurried home, pouring milk whey and herbal soup into her stomach to dilute the dose of poison. Gina was able to save her life. The unsuspecting German pilots were poisoned with poisoned meals and more than a hundred people, and the planned air raid was canceled.
The German Nazis were furious at the incident and strictly censored everyone in the cafeteria. Gina left the canteen after completing her mission, but her bad luck still came and she was still suspected by the Germans. But under the protection of the organization, the Nazis carried out unsuccessful retaliations. But unexpectedly, Gina was later betrayed by a partisan and arrested by the Nazis.
After being captured by the Nazis, Gina endured severe Nazi torture in prison, but she remained silent and resolutely did not disclose the organization's information to them. In order to get the news out of her mouth, the Nazis kept delaying the execution, cutting off her ears, crushing her fingers and gouging out her eyes the day before the execution. In the end, the Nazis, who had no choice, brutally killed Gina. On January 10, 1944, the Nazis dragged the dying Gina out of her cell and executed her in the snow.
After Gina's death, her body was exposed in a ditch, and no one dared to help her collect it. Because the cruel Nazis are still watching here, if someone comes to help Gina collect the body, it must be a fellow partyer. In the end, the Nazis got nothing. A year later, the Soviet army finally invaded Berlin of Nazi Germany, and the criminal Nazi Empire finally collapsed.
In 1958, the Soviet Union posthumously awarded Gina the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union", and in the war, Gina was the youngest but the highest national heroine, and Gina was later awarded the "Order of Lenin".
