Night Witches: A History of the All Female 588th Night Bomber Regiment

Written by Fergus Mason

Narrated by Jason Sullivan

★★★  The incredible forgotten story of the WWII female bomber regiment ★★★

From 1942 until the end of World War II, the Soviets had a secret weapon: women.

The 588th Night Bomber Regiment was one of the most decorated units; each member had flown more than 800 missions by the end of the war, and twenty-three were awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union (the highest distinction).

Despite all the awards, the unit is largely forgotten now. This book looks at the history of one of the most daring aviation units ever commissioned.

Reviews for Night Witches

[Darla Stremel Hays · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A story that few know of. The book is well written and researched.
The narrator could have been better. His tone was sometimes demeaning. His tone often indicated surprise that many of these women were only 19 or 20. Had they been men, I expect the time would have been more reverent and reminiscent. Also, if the Matisyahu l narrator can speak with a Russian accent, I'm conductor l confident he can learn to pronounce Wehrmacht correctly.
Regardless of the narrator, the book is interesting and presents a hidden truth inside of the Soviet success in WWII.
