But it’s time we gave Gerry a bean-load. As seen from here, we aren’t
pulling any weight at all. The Polski will fight bravely, but he can’t take
on the Hun all alone. It’s high time we destroyed Germany’s factories. It’s
all balls about military objectives. They’ve bombed open towns up and down
Poland….We must go for Germany before the Eastern Front is broken up. (42)
The truth gradually became clear to the Polish leadership that the West had never intended to fight in their defence.
