Night Witches – Female Soviet Pilots – Sabaton History 050 [Official]

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”.
