The actual story is they showed up at the ass end of the war and sorted mail while troops were going home. They definitely did something useful, but not anything movie worthy. I did however find out about the WW2 vmail system looking into the story. The US would take 16mm captures of letters and reprint them at the destination, saved 98% of cargo space in the middle of a war where room was sacred and was utilized on over a billion pieces of mail.
I'm sure they lived through hell while all the men, or what was left of them, were coming back from the war after losing friends, family, body parts, and sanity. Women suffered so much they had to actually work because all the men were off dying, the selfish bastards! 🙄
It made it easier to redact the mail, too. My grandfather still had some redacted letters from home where she talked about the neighbors farm yield and local news. This carried on for a while as I remember. Maybe through the Korean conflict?
I never thought to ask my grandfather about letters from my grandmother. I was too busy asking about battle details lol but they would’ve been cool to see

Fuck you, asshole. Guaranteed those strong women bled for their country ... from paper cuts.
They deserve all the medals, dammit. Fucking bigots like you make me sick! 😡

Every morning, female news editors give themselves a pep talk in the mirror: "Remember, no matter what happens, you make it about you!"
Olena Zelenska, is that you?
That I didn’t know.
