Gwen Tryon will tell the story of the "Night Witches", a World War II German nickname for the all-female military aviators of Russia's 588th Night Bomber Regiment, who bombed German targets at night. They were feared and hated so much by the Nazis that any German airman who downed one was automatically awarded the prestigious Iron Cross medal.
