During World War II an all-female group of military aviators of the 588th Night Bomber Regiment was terrorizing Nazis under the stealth of the night sky. These women were nicknamed the Night Witches. They had nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Cindy goes full-on Russian with a one-pot meal called Plov because Night Witches don’t have time to cook. She made a sour cream cake called Smetannik that was worth leaving room for and for drinks we shared some amazing Moscow Mules.

This was a phenomenal episode! I had never heard of the Night Witches before. Thank you for sharing this story, Dana! My husband has never listened to a true crime podcast before, so we listened in the car on a road trip because I wanted to catch up on episodes, and he thoroughly enjoyed it! Nydia was absolutely hilarious in this episode; even my husband was chuckling!
