I wish you guys the best in following year and years more to come. I was excited, and the video is amazing. To whole team, happy new year!

Great storytelling! And the animation is awesome! Now a certain band has to do a song about this lady, I think ...

Yes it is.

Definitely the best yet. Kudos!

UV Texturing is really good too!

it gets 10x better every episode

Hey I like your profile pic CherAmi.

The friendship stories between WW2 personel are always heartwarming. The bloodiest conflict ever forged some of the stronger bonds we'll ever see

The commandant of the Night Witches spent about the same amount of time looking and recovering each and every one of her pilots remains that were shot down.

Nice to know that

Your Great Grandmother was a hero, may i ask who her name was?

Ok👍

when did she joined?

Yeah. Most of these sovjet female combat volunteers had to fight their way, to get a front duty. Its surprising what could be done, in this time of terror and the NKWD quotas to fill a number of spies, saboterus, and traitors... These women could travel across Sovjet without permission, to meet with some leading minister, or some leading general... Write letters to Stalin, etc etc... They seldom got anything for free... Later in the war it become easier to be recruited into combat roles.

thanks from the Interesting info

@@AaronRMG Ah, yes. The Me109 whom not only didnt finished off the badly damaged B-17, but also escorted it almost home, so no other german figher pilot would take them.

@@AaronRMG that "code of honor" was mostly for aerial combat in the West. In the East Luftwaffe were quite infamous for attacking non-combatant targets like hospitals with all the prescribed signs of one like red crosses, refugee columns were common targets for their strafing runs in summer of 1941. Also they had the habit for shooting down parachutes. German pilots being "gentlemen" with their enemies is a Western narrative - not even a lie, technically. It is just an omission that there was VERY different war on the Eastern Front.

@@mdokuch96 "Also they [Luftwaffe] had the habit for shooting down parachutes" You get this information from Pravda maybe? Seriously you're talking such utter nonsense. Namely as the act of shooting parachutes was not a common occurrence on any side, and was fervently disciplined, except for notable cases from Japan. You'll find plenty of anecdotes even, whether it be American, German or Soviets who with great disdain go out of there way to down any odd foe caught shooting at parachutes.

@@ThermicLight Shooting a parachute would have been extremely stupid, givem the limited amount of ammunition these planes carried.

Does anyone happen to know if any female pilots flew for the Communist side in the Korean War? I've always had a hard time figuring out whether the female combat pilots were only because so many men got killed during World War II or even if it was normal whether it was limited to only the Soviet Union (as opposed to Mao's China or North Korea).

There is crowdfounding indie company film is preparing. Litvyak (Литвяк). You can support it.

@@thunderbird1921 I'm not sure specifically about Korea, but I do know the Soviets were very progressive for the time. The logic was, To put it bluntly, a woman can fight and die the same as a man. I'd imagine that, like everything else in communism, they were recruited after showing some sort of "promising" skill/characteristics at a young age. And after years of specialist training, were chosen based on class grade rankings, and what the Army needed at the time.

A long time ago, I happened to watch an old black and white Russian movie (with subtitles) about a woman who had been a fighter pilot during the war. She had become a teacher, and the movie showed her mundane life, getting shouted at by naughty kids, and having hassles with the school bureaucracy, and every so often, she would just drift away, and there were flashbacks of her having dogfights and zooming through the clouds over the battlefields. The movie was about the contrast in her life, after the war finished. It was melancholy, but a good movie. I have no ides of the title - it was a long time ago.

many female pilots handled things like transports and ferrying aircraft from the USA to Russia. Others like the woman who searched for Lydia were members of the Night Witches (my great uncle was actually killed by them they dropped a small bomb on him when he made a mistake by lighting a cigarette at night ) So actually the Soviets did use a lot of women in Combat just not in the roles you'd think like fighter pilots.

There is no corroboration from German sources on her claims - this is Soviet propaganda. Male pilots on both sides exaggerated their claims.

@USERZ123 not true. It’s well known the soviets wildly exaggerated the feats of their hero’s for propaganda purposes that goes for both male and female. It’s almost impossible to know what’s true age what’s not

Yes. What is interesting. She didnt just shot down beginners, or just bomb planes (whose both were more or less sitting ducks). She took also down expeienced fighter pilots; even aces... THAT is skill!

You should check out Strike Witches. There’s a character based on her.

@@Tragicide i sure will bud! When yeh get a chance check out Demonsoftacticalgaming and see the 4 knife kill. Colonel 100 style lol

Sanya V. Litvyak

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kLWTp8R2y9_HaXk.html

Same here. I learned that the Germans called her the White Rose because they saw the flower on her plane. Something like that.

Well, there is always Japan and its anime. Even if its lewd there are more serious types (even the lore) to which you can admire and learn from. it's thanks to Strike Witches I was also able to find them paying respect to purposely forgotten pilots (even Canadian ones). Where North American media fails Japan tends to have you covered. Just need to be open minded instead of being needlessly critical putting things down. I'm however thankful Yarnhub made me aware of The White Lily. Hope to eventually see her in Anime, unless I already have unknowingly.

Sanya V. Litvyak from Strike Witches is what got me interested in her.

American studios have little appetite for any positive portrayal of anyone from the soviet union. Someone tried in the 2000's to get a movie about the Night Witches greenlit with Malcolm McDowell staring but they couldn't get a studio to sign on.

Well, it was the German report that cited her as ramming and killing the German pilot, so why would there be any question of her being executed later?

@@TheSoundsage Perhaps because they didn't want to admit to shooting on sight enemy soldiers who were women.

@@view1st its also possible she just died aswell when she rammed the german pilot

@@askewcat3209 Ramming was commonplace and I've never heard about survivors after any of those ramming.

Уточню - в январе 1943г.

she was a communist scum.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d9l5YM9ysbnLdWg.html

There’s an anime series called Strike Witches with a character based on her. It’s definitely worth checking out.

@ ZweGGy tho it is kinda unfortunate that she had to fight for the soviets at that time, it was more of a fight for survival against the Nazis who committed many atrocities rather than trying push a faulty ideology. Maybe if she was around a little longer she probably would’ve been disenchanted with the soviet union as well but, who knows.

so many russian women were baddass. Even many snipers were women because stalin believed women very detailed and careful so they were excellent snipers.

It is the bloodiest battle in history

The air war over Stalingrad was no picnic. The Luftwaffe had air superiority due to the bulk of Soviet aircraft being used to defend the Moscow front and the disasters of 1941 had cost the VVS what few experienced pilots it possessed, meaning German pilots with experience over Poland, France, the Low Countries and Britain were fighting Soviets who had barely finished training. In '42, new Soviet pilots had as little as ten hours flight time before being sent into battle, usually in obsolete biplanes which handle differently to the monoplanes they were given to fight with. The result was a truly appalling rate of attrition for the VVS.

@@DomWeasel damn just 10 hours and later go to battle. Damn..... By the way battle in air still a hell Planes can make this more romantic but still a hell.

Titans Clashed. . Entirely Different Grind... Soviets were Lied to.. Motivation ...yes...

@@DomWeasel Good analysis. Although these obsolete bi-planes, in hands of an experienced pilot, could do OK. If nothing else, they were usually more maneuverable than the modern planes, and thus, did OK in dogfights. But of course, it didnt helped much a beginner...

Happy new year 2 mate

You too

In 8h 51min its new year for me but a happy new year to some

If she flew 2 years, it must have been more than 66 combat missions. Russians hadnt not the american turns of 25-30 mandatory missions. They used their flyers as long there was a need of them... That is why lotsa of them have a ratio of over 800 missions... So, if Lidya had only 66 missions; something must have happened. Perhaps she was wounded and had long recovalescence. Perhaps she was used as teacher in a combat flying school... Or both.

@@barneydenstad2148 You are right, my bad, memory ain't what it used to be. I was thinking she started combat in 1941 when Germany invaded . She stated flying at 14, and was piloting small aircraft by 15 in1936, and earned her instructor license within a few years after that. So starting over, she attempted to enter the Russian Military Air Service 1941 but was turned down, she then forged her record by adding more hours of flight time and began training early 1942, her first combat flight was with an all female unit, no kills. She was transferred to 437th Fighter Regiment which was mixed gender, and her commander refused to let her fly, but eventually he had to, due to demand for pilots. She had her second combat mission Sept 13 1942 where she made her first two kills She was then transferred twice more before being promoted to junior lieutenant. Then she was shot down 1 Aug 1943, 17 days shy of her 22 birthday Aug 18. So about 13 or 14 months in actual combat. 😊👍

@@DIDYOUSEETHAT172 Re the question: why no hits while in the all female regiment? My theory is it depended on what tasks they got. And I presume they got the tasks of patrolling and escorting. Escorting very literally; the instruction was to escort and protect the planes (or city) they followed, NOT engaging and destroying enemy planes. Scare them off if possible, or at worst, make the attack much more difficult. Not to engage and pursue one on one; risking to come away from the protegees leaving them without active protection... Its one of the reasons the allowance to be a free ranger, allowed to hunt, seek and destroy, was so hotly desired by the experienced pilots... Being also the best way to get many victories...

@@barneydenstad2148 Her first assignment was with the 586th Fighter Aviation Regiment. As far as I know at first they were not flying escort, mostly defensive patrols. Perhaps the powers that be did not have that much faith in an all female regiment, giving them only light assignments. Similar to what the USA did with the all African American Tuskegee Airmen 99th Pursuit Squadron when they were first deployed. They were assigned and sent to patrol areas with little enemy presence. Plositions that had already been hit and cleared. The 586's first combat mission was February 23 1942 patrolling a railway in Saratov to protect it from German bombers. The 586's first recorded kills were September 24 1942 after Lidya had been transferred. Valeriya Khomyakova and Olga Yamshchikova each scored a Junkers Ju 88 over Stalingrad. Pilots combat missions included flying patrols over factories, important towns, troop movements. Combat in general was hours of boredom followed by minutes of sheer hell breaking loose. There were also some pilots who flew multiple missions, as well as engagements without scoring a single areal victory. Out of 2,073 missions, the 586 engaged in only 125 air battles, and shot down 19 enemy aircraft. Producing only two Aces, Lydia Litvyak and Yekaterina Budanova. both of whom were killed in action.

@@DIDYOUSEETHAT172 Tx for the additive info! Sending an inexperienced regiment into a calm area was of course wise, to give them some extra experience. But keeping them there forever is another issue.... Re this; pilots with multiple battle mission but none or few kills. One aspects is of course, not all are of the ace calibre. Another aspect is, they were typically organized in rotes, ie nr 1 was the hunter, nr 2 was mainly protecting the tail of of nr 1... Of course, nr 1 was typically the best pilot. But it wasnt the role of number 2 to score kills, his role was to protect; to abort or disturb attacks on nr 1... There WERE nr 2 whom had kills. I suppose it was usually when the enemy formation did break down, and it was hunt and pursuit... Occasionally if the enemy plane come straight before their cannons... Another aspect may be, women are often more strict with keeping with rules. If the instruction was; you protect, dont hunt if there is any risk you leave the area unprotected - so they didnt. While boys typically dare more; and break the instruction. And so, get more kills... Speculating and thinking aloud here a little... :)

I feel like footage from the year 2000 should be findable I mean I'd love to know

I'm with you, for the reasoning you propose and of course out of hope that Lydia did indeed survive.

No way in hell did she survive. It’s a nice story but a fantasy. No way would someone that dedicated to her country just “walk away” in the literal middle of the war.

Having a “legendary story” Doesn’t mark you invincible. Eventually another pilot got the best of her like many other aces. Also no way would someone that dedicated just “walk away” from the war literally in the middle of it
