This video was made possible thanks to everyone on the Simple History Patreon: Milunka Savic, history’s most decorated female soldier, disguised herself as a man to fight for Serbia in WWI. She cleared trenches, captured enemies, and earned top honors, including the Legion of Honour. Wounded nine times, imprisoned by Nazis, and later forgotten—her legacy as a fearless warrior endures.
