He's correct in that the Poles were not allowed to participate in the Victory marches, in spite of their outstanding contribution to the overall victory.
A sad circumstance brought about by diplomatic failures. I don't think He111 suggested that the Cold War should have been warmed up a bit, just that it was sad about the ignoring of the Poles at the parades.

I also don't think anyone with any knowledge of WWII worth speaking of would either underestimate or belittle the Poles from any perspective.

Thanks, I couldn't have replied better myself. Funny, one agreeing post was deleted then the rant? what's going on?

BTW, those Defiant kill shots, experienced 109 pilots attacked from 6 oclock low or head on. I hope the AI has this understanding, ie don't attack from 6 oclock high. To counter that, I hope the Defiant AI banks left or right giving the gunner full view of anything below.

another interesting point, 264 sqn developed interesting tactics to defend against 109s. I think it was a descending spiral or defensive circle. I hope the AI can do that as well! .. please!
