38 - The experience of women in the Soviet Military in WW2.

27 min•21 maj 2019

This podcast looks at the contribution of Soviet women to the military in the Great Patriotic War.

Based on the The Unwomanly Face of War, by Svetlana Alexievich which received a Nobel Prize for Literature. 

We discuss:

  • Women in the Air Transport Auxiliary
  • Mary Ellis, the ferry pilot with over 1,000 missions
  • Natalya Meklen, one of the Nacht Hexen with over 800 combat missions in a Po 2. 

What does the female contribution to Total War mean for a moral centre of gravity.
