  • Night Witches. Undetected, unexpected, stealth perfected. Russian night time flight perfected. This is the story of the legendary 588th Night Bomber Regiment. We couldn't think of a better way to do this story than with music from @Sabaton
    Thanks to everyone @Sabaton for allowing us to animate a version of Night Witches and use their epic music in the process. It was an absolute honor and a labor of love. We're huge fans of everything they do. Please look at their channel here czcams.com/users/Sabaton?sub...

      Это не совсем командир. Я даже не знаю как обьяснить англоговорящим кто это.
      Скажем так: это заместитель командира по воспитательной и политической работе, он не отдает боевые команды, он следит за моральным состоянием духа воинов и что б они придерживались линии партии. Часто они сами летали и нередко в качестве ведомых. Но были и такие кто не умел пилотировать самолет.

Reminds me of the time a few months ago when I rewatched "Diggy Diggy Hole" for the 10th or 12th time, found a rock version of it after that, and suddenly got introduced to Alestorm because of a comment leading me to them.

    The PO 2 was a training aircraft that was used in flying clubs before the war. From here in Russia there were many trained pilots who know how to fly this plane well. There were quite a few women among them. When the second world war began, women volunteered for the front. They might have been nurses or radio operators, but they could fly well and they formed a separate night bombing regiment, No. 588. They flew on PO 2 , it had a very strong frame made of aviation plywood and was covered with a special fabric. The bullets went right through him, and he flew on. The aircraft had dual controls, which also contributed to its survivability. In fact, the plane "Night witches" was what is now called a drone. According to its characteristics, it was a manned drone that delivered bombs to the exact address in complete silence, and disappeared into the night sky. Admirable is the fact that these planes were flown by young girls who were 17-25 years old. During the night, they made 5-6 sorties to the near rear of the enemy. They took a lot of risks, their flying skills helped them in the fight against the fascist anti-aircraft gunners.

      having young women might also have to be because of the low carry weight of the plane, plus not wasting time on older people that already do other stuff. Moreover soviet aviation was in its infancy so finding "old" women aviators could have been impossible, even if desired

      She did that for several reasons.
      1. missing pilot of downed plane was treated as MIA, probably - captured or even defected. Her girls refused to wear the parachutes, so the crash site was enough to confirm heroical KIA instead of MIA. Finding these sites she removed any, even very pale spots of suspicions from their names.
      2. she was kinda "adopting mother" for them, and she respected the memories of her "step-daughters"

Parachutes weren't really much help and just got in the way.

      And part of why Yevdokia Rachkevich retraced the 588th's path from the war and searched for every crash-site, was so that her girls could have a proper burial and the recognition they deserved. You see, in the Soviet Union at that time, unless your corpse was found, if you were Missing In Action you were considered a Deserter, and if you were captured by the Germans and became a POW, you were considered a Nazi Collaborator unless/until proven Innocent. Before Lieutenant-Colonel Rachkevich found their crash-sites and resting-places, those girls weren't seen as the heroes that they truly were.

      First of all “Night Witches” aka 558th night bombers special Reg were all female Reg (including technics and mechanics) throughout the whole war, secondly it was awarded titles “Guard” , Red Banner and order of Suvorov, which means acknowledgement that: 1.they belong to elite part of the forces 2.their contributions to defense of the country is immense 3. their tactic skills are outstanding!!

      Don't forget about the snipers, recon units, AA units, field medics...

And EA was too lazy to dig into real French/Italian/Polish/etc. resistance/guerilla operations where women where actually involved, or considered them not to be epic enough... assigning the feat of a group of saboteurs to a fictional woman instead.

    In April of 2019,as a birthday present to myself,I was one of the passengers of an operational Po-2 planes(12 of them are left,6 of them are operational). Yes,it is a slow,but calm plane,easily controllable.
    I did remember, that the first instruction to step inside the cockpit was, 'DO NOT STEP ON THE WING, it might break' :) The second was 'MIND YOUR HEAD'...I hit the center part of the top wings,the maintenance crew and the pilot gave me a little smile...the designer of the plane already thought about idiots like me,so he put a strengthening element into the top wings,at the center :D So neither me nor the plane was hurt too much.

    More fun facts about the Po-2 they flew, the low wing loading of a bi-plane (bi-planes had been outdated for 5-8 years by that point) meant it could glide without engine power for much longer than monoplanes like Yaks or MiGs and the silent approach from above proved useful in part because of this. A secondary factor was something I've read but I can't find any concrete evidence for right now (so consider it as plausible), German AA guns had some target lead detection which was fairly early technology at the time and the Po-2 was too slow for it to track properly, contributing to the bombing success.
    Canvas planes were also in general remarkably resilient to small punctures so long as those did not hit the pilot or required control surface.

    On a more somber note, you guys did a good job on the animation all around; in particular, you nailed the animation and expressions of Yevdokia Rachkevich. She genuinely looks upset after crossing off the names, and her animation of her searching for the girls' bodies after the war really made you feel for her.
