Wehraboos love to pretend that Lyudmila here was simply a propaganda hero and never actually participated in the war. Probably because the idea of the indominatable Nazi army being kneecapped by a Russian/Ukrainian woman is too much for their egos.

"Every time my bullet fells a Nazi I have the feeling that I have saved lives. Any people who have had Nazis trampling over their land know that. For the Nazis kill children, women, old men. To let a Nazi remain alive in your land is to abet the murder of your own people. Only the dead Nazi can he trusted to leave the innocent unharmed. Every Hitlerite killed is a step forward on the road to the liberation of mankind."

As far as I know this is the original quote I don't know where the one in the post comes from. But in essence these two are exactly the same
