I love that we don't know the name of the Polish woman Bucky spends his pass with. Because she is meant to stand in for an entire country's tragedy, and to give her a name would make it smaller. I love that we know her absolute tragedy and her unbending determination to see the Nazis destroyed. Because it gives us a particular type of story to focus on while still making it clear it is simply one of millions.

I love that she--as a victim of the Germans--clearly sees a difference between them and Bucky.

I love that she leaves because she understands he is a good man going through some shit, and she refuses to be part of that shit. Because she has already survived so much fucking shit, and this pretty pilot with his Clark Gable moustache is charming and great in the sack, but his shit is not shit she wants to get involved with.

I love her so fucking much.
