Night Witches: Legendary Women Pilots of the Soviet Union #foryou #shorts

Embark on a riveting journey through history with the Night Witches, an extraordinary all-female Soviet pilot squadron that left an indelible mark during World War II. These fearless aviators operated outdated wooden biplanes, conducting an astonishing 23,000 successful nocturnal bombings against the Germans. As we delve into their gripping tale, explore the unique tactics that set them apart.

The slow stall speed of their obsolete planes proved to be a strategic advantage, making them elusive targets for the faster standard German aircraft. The Night Witches' small-sized planes, coupled with the absence of a radio system, rendered them virtually invisible on radar, earning them the eerie and intimidating nickname "ghosts" from the very adversaries they struck fear into.

Join us as we unravel the wartime secrets surrounding this legendary squadron. Coined by the Nazis themselves, the name "Night Witches" referred to the haunting whooshing noise produced by their planes during nocturnal operations. Rumors among the Germans added a mysterious element to their legacy, speculating that the Soviet women had received pills and treatments for cat-like night vision.

This video is a tribute to the brave women who defied societal norms and made history in the cockpit.
