Fun fact: The witches were so hard to shoot down in an air-to-air engagement and caused so much grief to the German ground forces that pilots that managed to shoot one down were automatically awarded the Iron Cross. IIRC the only Luftwaffe pilot that ever shot down more than one night witch in a single night was fighter ace Josef Kociok. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josef_Kociok For this achievement he was given the nickname "Hexenjäeger" or "Witch Hunter"

They weren't impossible to hit. Tricky yes. Impossible no. Sadly... As I recall reading somewhere there was supposedly one officer in the unit who actually got assigned a single day mission, and unfortunately, being in a fight at night and day are very very different, so she wasn't quite ready for it and got shot down. I'm not sure if she died or not though.

However it is difficult - first the COVID, then the Ukraine situation, which is highly politicised. Not to mention that the idea is more likely to be forgotten (they have their own matters to sort you know).

(' ')7 Edit: And I just realized: In the very last part of the song, before the instruments stop, Sabaton brilliantly had the drummer be so light with his kick drums, and so fast, it sounds like AA guns! It literally was the same technique they did in "Final Solution," when they made the sounds of a train rolling over tracks. Bloody gorram brilliant!

08 October 1941: Stalin issues order number 0099, creating three all-female squadrons, including the 588th Night Bomber Regiment. The pilots of the 588th would idle the engines of their Polikarpov Po-2 biplanes and glide to the bomb release point. German soldiers likened the sound of their approach to broomsticks and referred to the pilots as Nachthexen - Night Witches. The 588th flew over 23,000 sorties, dropping over 3,000 tons of bombs and 26,000 incendiary shells. The 588th was the most highly decorated female unit in the Soviet Air Force, with many pilots flying over 800 missions during the war (Irina Sebrova had the highest number of missions - 1,008) and twenty-three of the pilots were honored with the highest Soviet award, Hero of the Soviet Union. The wind will whisper when the Night Witches come…

As a former history teacher, I can tell you from experience that you'll never hear about the Night Witches in an American high school. In fact, one history class I taught, the entire Holocaust received just one paragraph in the entire textbook. That's right. One paragraph. I quit the profession because I was tired of standing in front of a classroom full of kids and being forced by a heavily biased and whitewashed history curriculum things that I KNEW were inaccurate, hyperbolized, exaggerated, distorted, and just plain factually incorrect. All I can tell people is that school is just the beginning of the learning process. Don't let a classroom and a school textbook be the beginning and the end of your pursuit of knowledge. Read as much as you can -- from all sides of a position -- be a lifelong student. Because you are never too old to learn something new -- and there is no such thing as useless knowledge.

Guys! Thank you very much for the song and story you told. My great-grandmother was one of the Night Witches. 46th Guards Night Bomber Aviation Regiment. She did not return from a combat mission in December 1944. I watched your video and literally tears welling up in my eyes. Sorry for not very good English.

There might be people named Hans with a z, but remember there has also been a pair of parents wanting to name their child Matt-Eagle which in German sounds like a dish with ground meat, soooo. A z in Hans doesn't make any sense with how German grammar (pronunciation/phonetics) work. Our s in the end of words makes the voiceless [s] sound, the one that gives German that cliché harsh sound. A German z is pronounced [ts]. Since the transition from n to s is quite harsh anyway, adding the /t/ (hailing from the written z) wouldn't change much. Ergo, spelling Hans as Hanz just doesn't make any sense to native German speakers. The more common variant of Hans is Hanns with two n.

Well ingeneral army actually isn't a place for most women. A society can bounce back from losing a big chunk of its young men, but if it lost a big chunk of its young women that society would have very hard time recovering from that. Why? Simple human biology. Society with fewer men than women can still easily reproduce than a society with fewer women than men. Now this doesn't mean that if women want to serve they should be denied, all this means is that we should not draft women to wars like we draft men. Men, especially young men, are expandable, while young women are one if not the most valuable people to a society.

Каждый раз слушая эту песню я плачу. Когда я был первоклассником(2003-2004 год) к нам на классный час пришла ветеран. Это была Нина Ульяненко Захаровна. Она рассказала нам о её детстве и как училась в 3 школе города Воткинск, о войне, о том как она сперва была штурманом, а потом летчиком. Но 2005 году она умерла. Она была очень доброй старушкой. И спустя года, благодаря Radiotapok я познакомился с вами. Тем кто вспомнил о шикарных русских женщинах воевавших вместе с русскими мужчинами. Никто особо не упоминал "ночных ведьм". И вот когда вышел кавер этой песни я заплакал. Сразу же вспомнилась Нина и её рассказы. Спасибо вам огромное, Sabaton

This includes all sides of any war, be it american, soviet, german,english, french or japanese or any other combatant. War can be, quite beautiful even in its unhumanity and darkest hours. Brave people fight, for a cause they believe in, even if it means that they will unsung, never remembered. They still are willing to place their humanity, dignity, and legacy on the line do to what they feel is truly right or that of their country and its deepest desires.

A great song, and a true homage to an unsung group of heroines. Thank you for using your music to teach so much about history that is rarely heard. As a military history buff for 40+ years, I know there is so much yet to learn. That said. I never suspected there was such a story as this.
