...scene featuring the women soldiers seems shoehorned-in, too contrived, etc..?

reply

The scene is in the novel, which the movie is based on, and the Red Army had female soldiers in some positions (snipers, combat pilots, tank drivers, medics, etc). No, it didn't feel shoehorned, apart from occuring late in the movie, while it was early in the novel.
