Marina Raskova, Often referred to as "The Soviet Unions Amelia Earhart" is perhaps the most underrated figure of influence in the formation of the The 221st Aviation Corps. While she herself never flew in the 588th "Night Witches", she would instead take command of the 587th Bomber Aviation Regiment. Her actions in life, the inspiration she became and her drive and push in the pre and early war days of the Soviet Union was one of the key contributing factors to the formation of the all woman Aviation Regiment's and to the Night Witches themselves. So today we start our exploration of the 588th with the life and deeds of the woman who made the 221st possible and who's actions inspired the young female pilots of the 588th who would stalk the Wehrmacht in the night..

i wrote one of my final essays for graduation, which made up 30% of my final grade on the night witches & russian female snipers. i got an A, cause i was so interested in the topic & also knew alot of small facts & stuff over videogames and youtube videos. great video btw
Thanks, man, for the series! I’m Russian and it’s great to know that non-Russian people are really interested and touched by one of the stories about our super-heroic (actually, there are no words in the world to fully reflect their heroism) Grandmothers. We owe them our freedom, our lives and should do everything to make them remembered in generations. Please continue your very important work in this context!
Agreed! Your videos are a welcome break from my own gaming sessions, every few hours or so I grab a snack and settle in (hands now free to feed) for a short while before diving back into my game.
That's an amazing piece of history and a great story. I hope you were wearing a dress while flying those missions and narrating this. In tribute you know.
Absolutely loved this ! Nice pacing, good reading voice. It's good to hear you telling stories Magz! Would be nice to see a bit of additional graphics here and there. For example: when taking about the flight a map showing an estimated flight path (as close as you can do it).
First of all, I love this video. Please make more like it. Second of all, I wonder how the whole crew survived. Surely those massive, brass balls had some strain on the aircraft frame during the emergency landing. Let alone the miracle that they didn't make Marina's chute fail that whole way down.
So Magz, can you make videos about WWII aces and their tactics? Like Erich Hartmann (352 kills) and his close-in manuver Like Emil Lang with his 18 kills a day Like Hans J. Marseille with his 17 kills deflection shoot Or other famous pilot Like Nowotny, Galland etc...
See THIS is the kind of stuff that BFV needed to emphasize, not cyborg asians in Europe. These kinds of stories truly show why they were called the greatest generation..
@@Angel24Marin There were some dadaist artists in the 1920s that - inspired, if you want, by the many war invalids wearing prostheses - created art featuring human-machine-hybrids, way before the terminology of "cyborgs" existed. And if you see the (sometimes very elaborate) prostheses as machines... You could say, yes, they were cyborgs. I dunno how far they push that in BFV, though...
Wait, you're running most of your stuff on a 1070? NANI?! I thought you had an SLI 1080 set up? But... how does that even do StarCitizen? I am confuse.
Keep in mind this was the 1930's, There was no radar, no guidance systems, Maps with visual and stellar navigation (like old sailing ships) was the only form of navigation and the flight headed into a part of Russia that even today is mostly wild with very low population in a prototype aircraft of which only four were ever built. Emergency landings at that period especially into such unknowns were very common.
Where are all the cry babies who rant and rave that women didn't fight in the war and so therefore should not be represented in films and other media that are about those who took part in the war? (Queue someone saying that people don't actually complain about that as if we havnt all seen them a million times anytime a woman shows up in a film or video game trailer)
why do you think it neccessary to bring negativity and divisiveness into a comment section that appreciates and respects the deeds of the female pilots this video series is about? neither the time, nor the place.
Why are russian women such bad asses?Lol. No seriously do we know what kind of aircraft she flew? Was she just a navigator or did she fly fighters as well. If she did fly fighters, do we know if she got any air to air kills?
@@matheusgclassen No, James is quite correct. As per the video description she was to become the commanding officer of the 587th Day bomber regiment flying a Pe-2. Her relationship with the 588th Night Witches was one of formation, without her it's possible the 588th would never have existed.
Yep, I'm Australian. It's funny, When an Aussie doesn't perfectly pronounce a German or Russian word people complain. But you don't see Aussies complaining when everyone including English speaking nations manage to screw up the pronunciation of almost every town and city in the country.
I did the best I can but sadly the Australian accent and way of speaking doesn't really lend itself to the easy pronunciation of Russian, or German for that matter.

This NEEDS to become a movie.
It's pleasure for me to say, how i appreciate your work! Thank you from Russian grandchildren of heroes of that terrible war!
These little histories are fun! Keep 'em coming!
Love this series. Great video.
A most informative video. I very much look forward to the next of this series.
That's an amazing piece of history and a great story.
I hope you were wearing a dress while flying those missions and narrating this. In tribute you know.
lol, Miniskirt. Dress gets caught in the rudder peddles. :P
Ahh, bad mental picture....
@@Pablo668 lol, That was the idea :D
@@Pablo668 *Good mental picture
thank you. this is what draws me to wwii history. the stories that are forgotten by mainstream history.
MORE AND MORE AND MORE. So good. Don't worry about pronunciation. Im Russian, doesn't really bother me, maybe gets some chuckles ;).
This new series holds great promise and looks to be very interesting....I look forward to seeing more
Was a magnificent video, thanks guys.
Nice to see we had a similar idea Magz. I did one on Lydia Litvyak
Isn't it Lydia Litvyak at 12:26?
Absolutely loved this ! Nice pacing, good reading voice. It's good to hear you telling stories Magz! Would be nice to see a bit of additional graphics here and there. For example: when taking about the flight a map showing an estimated flight path (as close as you can do it).
Thank you for this video. Would love to see more historical content. Subscribed.
Thank you, Magz, for this video
I see you everywhere
Great video Magz! I would love more of this :-D
More of this please. Good work mate! Really enjoyed watching this video 👍

Great video Magz. I love your content and your voice lends very well to historical documentary style videos.
Awesome video Magz, i look forward to following parts!
This is why I subscribed. Great work, Magz!
This was phenomenal, great cinematics to go with the story
i'd welcome more this kind of content... very well done. thank you.
WOW Magz!!! just WOW!!! amazing content!
Excellent work!
Eu amo a história dessas mulheres incríveis. E o melhor, é saber que algumas delas estão vivas até hoje.
Hello, this was great! But why is part 2 nowhere to be found?
Fascinating!
I had no idea. Thank you for this!
This needs to be made into a movie.
I stumbled upon the female Pilots night witches .. respect their bravery in war time
Can't wait for part 2.
Superb video!
Fuggen amazing man keep up the great work
just amazing.
I LOOOVED THIS
This is how to show respect to woman who fought in WW2 properly, *ahem ahem* BFV
Someone needs their pampers changed.
i would like to see more of these war stories
Love the historical videos Magz! Just so you know, TH-cam seemed to be really delayed in the video appearing in my sub box...
Yeah that's a thing at the moment sadly.
Very interesting. I love it
Great Video, awesome.
Great pilot for the series! 😋
Great stuff Magz. Lydia Litvyak would make a great subject!
Bravo mags
Excellent
So Magz, can you make videos about WWII aces and their tactics?
Like Erich Hartmann (352 kills) and his close-in manuver
Like Emil Lang with his 18 kills a day
Like Hans J. Marseille with his 17 kills deflection shoot
Or other famous pilot
Like Nowotny, Galland etc...
I can't find part 2

WW1 prothesis = cyborg?

Where’s Part 2 at? I’ve searched TH-cam and your channel... Help or please make it!
FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL IN SILENCE
CAST THEIR SPELLS EXPLOSIVE VIOLENCE
Misleading picture on preview - actually it is Mariya Dolina (not Marina Raskova)
2 months, still no part 2
Wait, you're running most of your stuff on a 1070? NANI?! I thought you had an SLI 1080 set up? But... how does that even do StarCitizen? I am confuse.
R.I.P. Major Marina Raskova, Hero of the Soviet Union and Mother of the Night Witches
The bad guys.
If only they made a Single Player Campaign mission with this in Battlefield V for Flying Based Missions
You do good videos which is why I enjoy sharing them on my Fb page where they are exposed to my 5k followers.
WINGS OF GLORY, TELL THEIR STORY!
The Russians are certainly a different breed from the rest...she died on my birthday :'(
Erich Hartmann was born in the same month I was (April), and died the same year I was born. (X-Files them plays in the background.) XD
the germans were terrified of them, because they would cut off their engines then dive into night bomb or strafe in silence. horror.
I thought you were doing racing
FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL IN SILENCE
so...the record breaking flight of 3 women endet with an emergency landing? :-D

This video makes me wanna fire up BFV!

Hi , i'm a game developper , and i'm making a game that will introduce night witches. It is a really interesting and not so famous ww2 story.
In Russia, women don't stop and ask for directions. ;)
These women would harass the germans all the way to Berlin, many would not return...
Good thing we come for the history, not your pronounciation of Russian lol
