    • Night Witches - Female...
    SABATON HISTORY LINKS:
    This episode is about the Soviet 588th bomber regiment. They were all-female and got the nickname 'Night Witches' from the sound their planes made after they killed their engines for maximum effect. This sound made German think of the broomsticks of witches, and they called them “Nachthexen”.

    I remember an interview with one of the surviving Night Witches. She said that if you dug your finger in the plane, the cloth would rip. It was that flimsy. She was proud of the title Night Witch. She also spoke fondly of a girl who survived seven flights out.

    Actually, that is how planes work, lol. You have to understand aeronautics here: When gliding, the forward momentum doesn't stop -- it's not like a car, where it comes to a rest after a little bit, after the engine stalls. A plane, if the fuel system is intact, can, in fact, restart its engine, using the airflow going over the propeller blades to turn the prop, exactly like as if it had been turned by hand. And interesting point of fact, the very first mission carried out by the Night Witches was to bomb the German headquarters.

    Planes do work like that though. If your engine is off, you're just a glider.
    Though that's still a bit of stupid reason to not give parachutes since it was pretty unlikely that you would be "shot down" that way. Most of the time you would lose tail, wings or get your plane burn down, so a parachute would be welcomed.

    Before you get on the Soviets for not equipping these pilots with parachutes, consider that the Soviet Union's first attempt at airborne assault troops consisted of having soldiers jump out of an airplane without chutes. They were supposed to aim for deep snow banks that would cushion their fall.

    The planes were so dinky that they often had to donkey kick the bombs out the back of their planes. They were only allowed hand pistols, since the planes were too delicate for heavier guns.

    Soviet communism kinda encouraged feminism, but not THAT much. They were mostly desperate. People often say that Soviets utilized "nas mnogo" (we are many) tactics, but thats BS. In 1941 Soviet union had much less population than Germany plus its allies. And most of those women already had some practice before, so they required less training.

    • @ЮрийСеливанов-т7п
      @ЮрийСеливанов-т7п 3 года назад +3

      The Soviet Union supported equality, not feminism. The story about the parachute is a lie. In fact, the girls deliberately refused them to increase the number of bombs and this was a direct violation of orders.

    Technically speaking, planes CAN and HAVE glided down to land. It's very difficult to do, but it can be done. Look up the "Gimli Glider" for a good example of a pilot getting an airliner to glide and land with no injuries to the passengers and crew. Granted, that pilot didn't have to deal with enemies shooting at them (which the Night Witches did) but the point is that it CAN be done. I wouldn't want to do it or be on a plane that's forced into doing it, but it's certainly possible.

    Bad Assed Women in obsolete Aircraft.
    I have seen the Polikarpov PO-2 they have at the Monino Air Museum...outside Moscow. That aircraft would have just died in droves....but attacking at night...in the bone chilling cold...withtheir engines were off...it was the perfect combo. And though their damage was minimal...the Psyvhological damage.. Never sure you could sleep and risk dying...or stay up and lose sleep...and denying them the rest they needed...their mental state was further eroded.
    And one advantage the PO-2 was that it's max speed was under the stall soeeda of the modern fighters. A similar advantage was utilized by the Swordfish Pilots during the great Channel Dash...where the ME109s and FW190s were struggling to stay aloftf while attack Swordwish...and the radio man on swordfish...attached by safety wires...would stand and watch the attacking fighters to commit to an attack... advise the poilot to go left or right to evade the attacker.

  • @ИванЕвтушенко-у7с

    It's not true about parachutes - they just didn't take them, they also didn't take machine guns, thereby reducing the weight of the aircraft and taking more bombs, they took sticks for the place of machine guns, so that there would be a feeling that there is a machine gun on the plane.

    The Soviets had one big advantage to the rest of Europe - where most countries if you take the capital that country falls, The Soviets could legitimately fight a war of attrition and would often sacrifice bodies for more time. they used to retreat east and u78se their terrain to the advantage - when they were ready, which took time due to the Red Purges (a story for another time), they threw men, women and children at the Nazis - and through sheer force of numbers, won. Die Nachtexen were fascinating women, moral fo the story - never discount some ones will and power to do anything to defend their home.

    Keep in mind, Stalin really didn't care about the personal welfare of Russians. To him, it didn't matter whether they were men or women, they were numbers & bodies. One of the things he's rumored to have said is "There's a certain quality in quantity", so he had no problem throwing bodies at a problem, whether it was in the workforce or in the battlefield. These women were provided with some of the worst planes to work with. Through sheer ingenuity, they figured out how to turn the plane's weaknesses into strengths.

      The germans followed war rules from the geneva convention with allied western prisoners as they did to them.
      But the soviets didn't sign the rules so soviets and german prisoners on the eastern front was under no protection. Neither the Japanese had sign the rules. Infact prisoners of the japanese faced even worse in most cases.

      Not completely true, not serving in combat is true, but they did have women serving. Look up the Armies WAAC's (Women's Army Auxiliary Corps) later changed to WAC's (Womens Army Corps), the US Navy's WAVES, the WAF's (Women's Auxiliary Air Ferrying Squadrons) used to move planes from the factories or repairs back to airfields or transferring planes between airfields and various bases. They became official military personal in 1943 but were working for the military since 1942 when Congress approved a bill creating the first WAAC's and there were 400,000 active duty women in the military during the war serving in these various groups. Just as stated none served in combat.
