‘The doctors wanted to Commission her – but she refused. After treatment, she was sent to a Reserve Regiment – and when Red Army soldiers were selected for Frontline Duty – Evdokia Zavaliy was mistaken for a man (as she typically wore a tunic and riding breeches – like a “Cavalryman”) with the documents mistakenly reading “Zavaliy Evdok. Nick.”! Evdokia Zavaliy did not dissuade anyone – and was subsequently sent to the 6th Airborne Brigade of the Marine Corps as Zavaliy Evdokim Nikolaevich! This secret was kept for eight months. After a Nazi German Officer was captured (near Mozdok) – a “Promotion” was issued for the Intelligence Department – of which this Ukrainian (Soviet) woman soon became the Commander!”
