    Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
    Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
    Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
    Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
    We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
    But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

    Very cool thread about some brave and determined women.
    Not taking anything away from them, but I detect some "Soviet Facts" among some of their stories. Not their doing, but the doing of the regime that had to exaggerate and propagandize nearly everything. Again, some courageous women are mentioned here and some are heroes in their own right.

    I have this full series on DVD but this one is quite boring to be honest. Bad acting, bad outfits etc. Not worth it to be honest.

    This one however is highly recommended: YouTube

    I agree!

    There are a few older movies about the Night witches that are far superior...and the Night witches dont look like Robert Palmer Super Models !
