On November 29, 1941, the Nazis executed Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya. An 18-year-old girl who was part of a reconnaissance and sabotage group was captured during a combat mission. She endured brutal torture, but did not betray her comrades. In February 1942, the girl was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. According to historians, the feat of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya became the standard of patriotism, which inspired other Soviet soldiers and home front workers for heroic deeds.
