YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The History Guy recounts the story of the Night Witches, the most decorated female combat aviation unit of the Second World War.

If you're interested in graphic novels, Garth Ennis has created a fictional story about the Night Witches based on the real history. Thank you to the publisher for sending a free copy of the book for review purposes. You can read Ms. History's review of the book here

The History Guy uses images that are in the Public Domain. As photographs of actual events are often not available, I will sometimes use photographs of similar events or objects for illustration.
