      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.

    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"

      ​@@Sergei_Agarkoff The problem with bombing missions in ww1 era aircraft is that they would be flying so low that by the time you were able to climb out of the cockpit, pull the ripcord and allow the parachute to inflate and slow you down to a reasonable speed, you would already have hit the ground. Parachutes weren't really much help and just got in the way.

    Mr Yarnhub Sir, I am truly grateful to you for posting such quality videos that shed more light on the Soviet fight against the Nazis. I grew up to history books teaching us that the US, and to a lesser extent UK, won WW2. It was only much later while researching on the internet I learnt the real fight was on the Eastern Front where 8/10 Nazis were accounted for by the Soviets. Thank you again and keep up the good work.

  • @PhantomDS

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    The night Witches!
    Also the fact he's playing the Night Witches song from Sabaton is amazing.

    The Sabaton S on the prop center was all I needed to see to know it was a cross over.

    As they did 5-10 sorties a night, it means their airfield was very near the front. Which means, airfield must be darkedned, to stop up prowling german night bombers and fighters.... And thus; they had to start and land perhaps even 10 times more or less in pitch black... A great feat for both pilots and navigators... In Poland they could make even more sorties a night.... Probably because Luftwaffe was much weaker, and thus, they had the luxury of some light in the airfield... Much easier to find the airfield, and much easier to land and start.

    I LEARN more important history from Yarnhub than all the so-called "history" courses in college. 👍

    I actually bursted in tears at the ending of the video. Proud and sad at the same time for all those brave women that never came back home. Excelent video.

    You know you're a badass when Sabaton made a song about you that was catchy.

    Very few would know this story if not for Sabaton.
