Lepa Radić was a 17 year old Yugoslav partisan who was sentenced to death for shooting at Nazis. When she was offered a way out of the gallows if she revealed the names of her accomplices, she declined saying they'd reveal themselves when they came to avenge her.

This photo is so powerful. 17 years old and knowing her life is about to end.

My grandfather parachuted into Yugoslavia and trained some partisans during the war, he said he never met a more devoted people to their cause, no matter what he asked of them they did it with a smile on their faces, they hated the nazis with a passion.

Edit; he never spoke about stuff till you asked him, I was doing a genealogy course and found some court records, he got into a spot of bother in 1952 and his solicitor got him a pass based on his service, so I asked him and he told me a wee bit about it...it sort of saddened me when I sat down and thought about it, how many stories were lost when the old veterans died off and took their accounts from the war with them, that generation man.
