  1. I just wanted to say that I'm really impressed with this vid, and a bunch of others I have watched this night, since I've discovered your channel. Important topics, doubly important since people often have a flawed perception of them, and absolutely great presentation. Regarding this one, I want to thank you for answering the question I had for a long time. Was Sosabowski really guilty of some part of the total failure? I tried to read on what he did, and I never could find anything damning, apart from his lack of respect to his superiors. The quote from Frost, that "they fired the best general we had" finally cleared it for me. One more comment. The reason Sosabowski accepted the whole plan probably had something to do with the fact, that it was the last and only semi-realistic chance for independent Poland. That's why they faught in the first place. Even if it was risky, even if it was costly, he'd still go with it as long as there was a decent chance of success. And this chance actually existed. It all could have worked. It should have worked. What a pity.
