The sources listed that provide "evidence" for Mametova's last stand are dodgy. They provide no primary sources of witness testimonials (for either side), dated records of body counts and equipment captured, etc. They also use biased language in order to paint Mametova as a "hero". For example, she "defeated fascists to the last spark of life" (source [2], https://web.archive.org/web/20190327193623/https://e-history.kz/en/project/view/4?type=publications&material_id=962) and "the brave Komsomol member was mortally wounded, but until her last breath she continued to destroy Nazis..." (source [4]). This hurts the supposed credibility of her actions.
Perhaps consider removing the section or adding a disclaimer that the evidence for Mametova's "last stand" is weak, and the whole thing is likely Soviet propaganda.
