If it was take off and die, where did those luftwaffel loses came from LOL ?
Luftwaffel was performing like a piece of sh.t in these campaigns, when you take into account their technical and numerical superiority.
285 aircraft lost to all operational causes, poles 333, it's laughable .

I doubt that anyone on this forum (nearmiss included) underestimates the bravery or effectiveness of the Polish pilots. I think he was just doubting the attractiveness of such a campaign to modern simmers! (correct me if I am wrong nearmiss)

One of the things that make the Polish pilots fight heroic was that they took off knowing that they would be facing a more numerous opponents in aircraft of a more 'modern' design.

To my mind this makes what they achieved even greater. Despite this, after their homeland was overrun they retained their fighting spirit and despite all odds made their way west and continued the fight from France and then England. Just at a time when England needed as many highly skilled and experienced pilots as possible.

There will be those among this community that will carry on about Germany never intending to go on with Operation Sea lion. Fortunately with the help of the Polish pilots carrying on the fight from England this argument was never put to the test.
