They were fighting to defend the Motherland during WWII.
Female fighter pilots of the 46th “Taman” Guards Night Bomber Aviation Regiment enjoying some rare moments of silence and quiet in September 1942. The Nazi called these fearless women, aged from 17 to 26, Nachthexen (night witches). Over the course of four years, they flew over 24,000 missions, dropped more than 23,000 bombs, and destroyed hundreds of key enemy infrastructure facilities.
RT: In the line of fire: Iconic Soviet photographer captured 1,418 days of WWII on camera (PHOTOS)
The article features the work of Yevgeny Khaldei who shot some of the most famous pictures of the war. This photograph struck me particularly for the contrast between this and the violence of the way they waged war.
Ed: Die Nachthexen - I like it
Same here as the night witches must have been some scary females.
Ed: they look like, well, women
Yah, remarkable, isn't it. It gets me because practically all the women on the telly look like hookers but these ones were defending the free world and they look like women we actually know.
Hmm, Nachthexen doesn't really work since that means worms. Nacht Hexen are witches. Now we all know.
The editorial is always the same; they were just kids.
Ed: the one on the right looks like the one for me, mate
You dog. What about the one next to her?
Ed: she is writing so she probably has someone already. I'm thinking, see.
I do see and I'm sure that will impress her.
