I really hate this one (,,repeat please"). Well, not the scene itself, but how they presented polish pilots and WHEN!!! The real situation:
30th of August. 303rd squadron was ,,playing with blenheims" and suddenly Ludwik Paszkiewicz (read: Loodvik Pu(like ,,u" in word ,,duck")shkievich) spotted formation of enemy planes. He reported this to John Kent, squadron leader. Kent ordered them to cover blenheims and head home, but Paszkiewicz was too angry on Brits for not allowing experienced pilots to fight, broke off and shot down a 110. Then he spotted that he's ALONE and turned back. Now what we see in the movie:
Second week of september. ,,T5" is training. Suddenly, polish pilot spots german formation and starts dialogue: ,,Germans! Germans, down there!" ,,I don't see them, where?" ,,Down there, to the right! I'm going for them!" ,,I see them". Then dialogue which everyone here understood (because in english). Later some screamings; ,,I have him!" ,,I'm behind you!" ,,Bastards are shooting at us". Then ,,I've got him! He's hit, son of a bi*ch" ,,He's smoking" (explosion) ,,I'm going out to the right". Kent screams at them to shut up.
The most unacceptable thing for me isn't showing them talking in polish, but showing them as a group of old kids which can't sit in one place and are too excited to remember english, which, by the way, was well known by them at the moment. And the date. On 7th of september they shot down 13 Do 17s and couple of 109s (I'm not sure about Messers) and forced the 40-bomber formation to turn back to France. So showing incorrect actions from 30th of august as actions from 7th+ of september is deleting their earlier actions (i.e. the first official combat mission from 31st of august, in which flight A shot down 6 Me 109s without losing or even having damaged a single fighter and flight B wasn't in action). It's scandal!
