Transcript: So we have a squad of thirteen girls, it was up to me to teach them how to behave. At first the Partisans would tell me what they required and I taught them (the girls). We weren't given heavy arms, just pistols. Every day I was taught something new and then I taught it to them. My approach was different. At the beginning they would giggle, 'ooh, will we hold that!' You should have seen them after a month went by. It was like they were completely different girls. They took it more seriously than I did. Let's do this, let's help, let's ask about what needs doing. At first our job was to train. Afterwards it was to learn how to be girls alongside the men. It was difficult teaching them to behave as equals among them. We learned to use pistols. We did whatever the Partisans asked us to. The Partisans saw that we were successful in performing our tasks.
