Re: May 14th 1940 and few little things
Not meant as an insult, but wasn't there anything these Polish airmen didn't know better or at best agreed with?
(how familiar, must be endemic... ![]() It does surprise me that there isn't a single mentioning of the fact that they were grateful for being given a second chance to fight the germans in a fighter aircraft (how did these types compare with the Polish front line fighters of '39?). Those who survived France got a third chance in Britain, where they probably didn't agree with everything they encountered either, but were save from the Wehrmacht and a quick defeat, hence having less to criticise at the end. Birgir's post was very enlightening, thanks for filling in some gaps in our one sided picture.
