Matt May Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 or whatever it was that the Germans called the women who flew the biplanes at night and straffed their camps. They could reduce a unit's readiness the next day by denying them sleep. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runyan99 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I think you mean the sewing machines. That plane had a lot of nicknames. No air support in the first release. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renaud Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 The Rata, or 'Sewing Machine'. According to what i've read, they had no great effect, hardly even denying sleep. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juan_gigante Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 There was a book by the guy who wrote "War Of The Rats" about Kursk, and one of the characters was a "Night Witch". I think that many people who read said book might have an exaggerated view of their influence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
