The Night Witches were a fierce group of Soviet Union women who wreaked havoc on the Germans with surprise attacks in World War II. The most amazing part of their story isn’t that the 1200 people running the regiment were all women. No, it's what they had to overcome to be able to fly into combat at all. Listen now to find out what those obstacles were and what creative tactics they came up with to get the name “The Night Witches.”
