Milunka Savic was an incredible warrior, performing bravely in the Balkan Wars and WW1, being wounded nine times. But her story is much more; in WW2, she refused to attend a dinner given an official who was a Nazi sympathizer since Germans would also attend. For this, she was sent to a concentration camp (which she survived). After WW1, the French offered her citizenship and a comfortable pension, but she refused and returned to her beloved Serbia where she worked as a cleaning woman. Some of Milunka's awards for valor: (2) Karadorde Stars with Swords - Serbia (2) Legion d’Honeur - France Cross of St. George - Russia Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael - Great Britain Milos Obilic Medal - Serbia. Croix de Guerre with Gold Palm - France (the only woman awarded this medal in WW1) Great reaction, keep rocking Sabaton
We are not Soviet mate. Serbia was never in the Soviet union. But nice video, Milunka was a real hero. And here in Serbia, we are tought to respect our warriors. Respect from Serbia. Igor💪🙏🇷🇸❤️🇺🇸🍻
@@mladenkorstic I was never talking about the state, they don't give a flying freak about anything or anyone if it's doesn't benefit them or their political goals, and we all know that part. I was talking about every day people who are into Serbian history, like myself, and people like me.
@@mitologijaiokultizam7608 I know what you were talking about, but the point can still be made if we were taught to respect our warriors then us as a society never would've allowed her to be poor and yet she was. Ne kazem da ti licno ne bi nesto poduzeo za nase heroje u potrebi, ali veliku vecinu boli briga i ne sete se heroja sve dok im ne zatreba neko s kim bi se kurcili fazon vidi heroja kod nas a to sto heroj nema koru hleba to je druga prica
@@mladenkorstic Mate, I live in Scotland almost my whole adult life. And my family didn't leave Serbia because they wanted to, more because they had to. But they've always taught me about my county's history, and heroes. And I was always taught to respect them. That was my point under "we were taught", not about state and society, but what you bring from home and the people who should teach you in the first place. Cheers.🙏🥂
@@mladenkorstic But you're definitely right about society being shamefully disrespectful to our heroes like Milunka Savić. And we should do better. That is out of discussion, I agree to that.🙏😔
Her unit spent some time in one French army so she got their medals during that time. I dont know about russian and UK medals. A lot of black spots in her biografy. that is good thing for movie scenario writers :)
Also, regarding what u said about it being sad that no other woman has gotten more medals than her yet. Think about it. In both world wars, it may have been "easier" to get medals, sort of like a boost of morale, and whatnot. Maybe even to promote enough to get them off the front lines. But in these days, it is much harder to get those medals at all. At least, I suspect it isn't as easy to get all those medals in today's time. But I maybe well be wrong. Just what I think.
One thing you seem to disregard is that Milunka Savic was awarded more medals for valor than almost all of the men who fought in these wars, and she was awarded them by multiple governments, not just her own. She fought in front line combat units, something most militaries do not allow (except for some exceptions like the Israeli military). As far as the comment about it being easier, that is just silly.
@@alancarter41 Lol I meant no disregard to her. But how easy do you think it is today to get a medal from another country? Hard. Harder than back then coz its harder to get a medal even from your own country. Furthermore, how many wars has happened since ww1 and ww2 that has given many soldiers the chance to get these kinds of medals? I mean there are a lot of wars going on all the time in the world, but for one sole country? America would be the odd one out since, huh, which war haven't the US been meddling in? But how many have gotten this amount of medals since ww2 time?
@@FemaleSniper86 No worries. And you make an excellent point. Since WW2, there have been no conflicts where combatants have formed the type of alliances we saw in WW1 and WW2. maybe the Gulf War, but it was so short there was little time for soldiers to earn awards for valor. I know some soldiers who have earned awards from other countries while serving on NATO missions, but they are all commendations, not awards for valor. And I worked with a gentleman from Quatar who commanded a tank regiment who was awarded The Silver Military Medal for Valor from Kuwait.
🤣🤣🤣 You're right. It is much harder to earn a medal for bravery today... operating a joystick from a hundred kilometers away from the battlefield and "bravely" bombing (mostly civilians) from 10 kilometers high... as opposed to trench warfare before (hand grenades, knives and direct man-on-attacks man). "Experts" with joysticks in their hands are incomparably greater heroes than the old knights who fought as men... even if they are women. ..😂😂😂
She even survived concentration camps and being persecuted for her being a Serbian (Serbs were the third most persecuted after Jews and Poles). She fought in Africa, Balkans, France, Germany front. She deserves everything.

If we respected our warriors she would never be poor don't talk nonsense country doesn't give a shit about the warriors

Love from Serbia❤Land of Nikola Jokic i Novak Djokovic.Born for fight ))
To add insult to injury, she survived a concentration camp in WWII
Yugoslavia was not soviet at all, it was in the balkans
There are more about her the video did touch apon which you should read about
Yugoslavia WAS NOT Soviet!!! We were founders of non-aligned countries!
Man, if something you consider hard to do in every day life Just think about
Milunka, huh.
This is real story
Her unit spent some time in one French army so she got their medals during that time. I dont know about russian and UK medals. A lot of black spots in her biografy. that is good thing for movie scenario writers :)
what a woman!

1:31 Yugoslavia split off from the SU in 1948 (although it remained under communist rule pretty much until it fell apart).
Jugoslavija was never part of Soviet Union !
And it wasn’t under communism, it was under socialism.
You truly are ignorant in history, read a book before trying to correct others bud.
