Luftwaffe: The russians have no air force to fight us, what are they gonna do? Send a bunch of women on broomsticks?

Sabaton doesn't teach me history. Sabaton prompts me to look up events of history and learn it myself from a wide variety of sources. In the end it is almost the same.

[СемёнСемёнов-ыь]

Just try to imagine:
- no any armor
- no any weapons
- no any radio
- no parachute
- open cockpit

Nothing but 6 bombs, paper-plane and up to 100 km\ph.
Mind-blowing!

Night witches are girls no older than 25 years old, this nickname was given to them by the Nazis. They were so called because they flew on wooden planes, these planes are not visible on the radar, they emit a very quiet hum for the plane and they cannot be seen in the night sky. The girls took advantage of this and attacked at night, dropping 150-200 kg of explosives at a time, they said that they could carry out several such bombings during the night. But since the sound can even slightly determine the location of the aircraft and get to guess, the “witches” did the tricky maneuver. Approaching the enemy’s shelter, they turned off the aircraft engine so that it was impossible to determine their location by sound, quietly dropped and dropped bombs, turned on the engine and flew away. The Germans heard a rumble in the distance, then it abruptly stopped. They were confused, like where did the plane go? They didn’t even expect

"oy Hans, they said that there are no russian bombing raids this week"
"ah, but what is that above you?"
"shceiße"

[jaytea]

I love how "Axis aiming high" has a double meaning, referring not only to the Axis powers, but also to the fact that they were pointing their AA guns at too steep of an angle, as the word "axis" is also a geometrical term. At least I hope this is on purpose.

[mandothemandalorian]

I'm ashamed, I didn't know about these heroes before, can't hold my tears now. Eternal glory for them!

A proud warrior legacy. I’m a US Army female veteran, and there is little out there to share this proud warrior heart. I served in the 80’s, during the Cold War, when there was nothing even remotely chilly about the geo/political/little tanks on the board warfare. Tonight we are sisters—serving when and where others would not. I would have been honored to meet your grandmother.

[PomegranatePomPom]

Someone : So what are your standards in women?

Me : It's complicated

Devil: "A Russian chick piloting a WW1 plane with the engine off bombed you."
