Listen to my conversation with Dr. Fern Riddell on her Not What You Thought You Knew Podcast about “The Night Witches and the Fighting Women of the Soviet Union.”

“The Night Witches were the feared, all-female military aviators of the 588th Night Bomber Regiment. Yet the Night Witches weren't the only Soviet women on the front-line during the Second World War. Women were pilots, doctors, partisans, snipers and anti-aircraft gunners. Dr Fern Riddell speaks to Dr Reina Pennington and Prof Kristen Ghodsee.”
