Re: May 14th 1940 and few little things

I am simply in no position to undertake a serious study of all incidents that occurred in 1940. The thing that you expect from me is to spend several hours on books, and I cannot do that at the moment. You will find quite a good summary in the book The Lost Hopes that covers operations of Polish fighters during the campaign. It is bilingual, Polish and English. This will not give you a complete picture, but at least part of the picture.
As to laziness, if you consider that fuzzy, those were situations like: we will not put flight at stand by at dawn, because it will make men tired, we will not camouflage aircraft, we will not dig trenches because no bombs are going to fall with our defences, we will not connect you to the early warning system, we will not provide you with necessary equipment because it is here to be stored and not to be used by you, we are not going to allow you to fly defence patrols of this place, it is not our problem the early warning system does not work, etc.
