Her quote is one of the most badass in history. “I am not a traitor of my people. Those whom you are asking about will reveal themselves when they have succeeded in wiping out all you evildoers, to the last man.”

Things went rather badly for the Prince Eugen SS turds after the war.

Partisans killed them, like 'Prinz Eugen' did to them thousandfold before.

I always get misty-eyed when I see her picture or read about her. A true Hero, at such an unparalleled level that there are only a small handful that are worthy of being her peers. 17 years old. Such courage and force-of-will. At the same time, what limitless hatred and cruelty to do this to a child. But we shouldn't dwell on that. She would want me to be inspired and to spend my life fighting the same fight. In her honor...
