Tea & Heresy

#004 The Night Witches


Listen Later

On this week's episode of Tea and Heresy, in commemoration of ANZAC Day, we discuss one of my favourite stories…that of the Night Witches🌹 Thought, by the Germans, to have been injected by chemical enhancers, riding upon the wind in their plywood planes to drop bombs on German army camps during WW2… I don’t want to ruin the juiciness of this episode but rest assured you definitely DO NOT want to miss out on this episode!! 🎙

During a time when women were allowed to fight on land but not in the sky, this is the story of the 588th Aviation Night Bombing Regiment of the Soviet Union.

A story of how women during the communist regime chose to go against the “stay at home and protect the motherland” narrative and go and “kill the war” and protect the motherland on the front line👏🏼

I adored researching this and hope you enjoy receiving it👏🏼👌🏼
