I liked when the Polish Airborne Commander ask for written orders to drop on day three where he was told. The British officer replied "Are you certain you want written orders" the Polish commander replied " No, I dont need them, we will all be dead anyway" or something to that effect.
As I understand it the only thing that saved the poles was they were dropped on the allied side of the river rather then with the doomed British Division as originally planned.
