Live, love, & fight to the death to defend your Motherland as a natural-born Soviet Airwoman in the midst of Hitler's invasion of the USSR.
Description:
Night Witches follows the campaign of the historical 588th Night Bomber Regiment, the first and only all-female air unit in Stalin’s army. We’ll be pilots, navigators, mechanics and political officers. Our mission is to harass the German army, which has invaded our country. The war is brutal and horrific.
We fly obsolete biplanes and drop bombs or, when we don’t have bombs, railroad ties on the Germans. Things are desperate. It is incredibly dangerous. We fly in darkness, sometimes a dozen missions each night. The Soviet army wishes we didn’t exist and nobody expects us to succeed. We are going to succeed anyway.
This is a ConTessa event led by someone who belongs to a historically underrepresented group. For more information about who we are and what we do, find us on the web at contessa.rocks.
