In this thrilling episode, we uncover the haunting legacy of the Night Witches—an all-female Soviet bomber regiment that struck fear into the hearts of Nazi soldiers during World War II. Flying flimsy wood-and-canvas planes under the cover of night, these daring young women turned silence into a weapon, conducting hundreds of deadly missions with no radios, no parachutes, and no margin for error. From their unlikely formation to their postwar obscurity and modern revival, this is the astonishing true story of how the Night Witches soared into legend.
