PATRON ONLY: The Night Witches

Hello Patrons! We are concluding our Women's History Month episodes with a patron request! We take a look at some very brave and extremely interesting women: Female Soviet bombers during World War 2.

 

Nicknamed the Night Witches by their German opponents, these women were utterly fearless and extremely deadly, terrorizing the Germans from the skies.
