    ========= Night Witches LYRICS =========
    From the depths of hell in silence
    Cast their spells, explosive violence
    Russian night time flight perfected
    Flawless vision, undetected
    Pushing on and on their planes are going strong
    Air force’s number one
    Somewhere down below they’re looking for the foe
    Bombers on a run
    You can’t hide, you can’t move, just abide,
    Their attack’s been proved
    Raiders in the dark
    Silent through the night the Witches join the fight
    Never miss their mark
    Canvas wings of death
    Prepare to meet your fate
    Night bomber regiment
    588
    Undetected
    Unexpected
    Wings of glory
    Tell their story
    Aviation
    Deviation
    Undetected
    Stealth perfected
    Foes are losing ground, retreating to the sound
    Death is in the air
    Suddenly appears, confirming all your fears
    Strike from Witches lair
    Target found, come around, barrels sound
    From the battleground
    Axis aiming high
    Rodina awaits defeat them at the gates
    Live to fight and fly
    Beneath the starlight of the heavens
    Unlikely heroes in the skies
    Witches to attack, witches coming back
    As they appear on the horizon
    The wind will whisper when the Night Witches come
    ========= Historic Fact ==========
    A total of 261 Russian women served as pilots during the lifetime of the 588th Night Bomber Regiment in WWII. They were nicknamed ‘Night Witches’ for their stealthy attacks. 32 of them died in service.

    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.

They actually replied that the idea was interesting, and it would be possible to discuss once they are on the tour in my country. 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).

    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.

      Because teachers only "teach" what fits their personal agendas especially when it comes to wars like ww2 the American civil war ect. My teachers never mentioned black Confederate soldiers because it didnt fit their narrative as is the same with all of the female warriors fighting for the USSR we were taught communism bad (it is extremely evil and bloody) but we were never taught the soviets were quite progressive in who they let fight

      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.

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.

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.
