Galina Brok-Beltsova - The Last Night Witch
Galina Brok-Belsova, who just died this past August, was the very last known member Night Witches - the Russian female aviation regiments that helped to turn the tide of World War II. Certainly some of the bravest women we've ever covered on the podcast, the Night Witches struck fear into the hearts of German soldiers - and Galina was no exception. Enlisting at 16 and flying her first combat mission at 18, Galina would end up flying 36 combat missions and receiving the Order of Lenin and a personal thank you note from Stalin himself.
Listen now to hear more of Galina's story!
