The polish parachute brigade led by Gen Sosabowski was an outstanding unit too, and he didn't much tolerate fools either so quite often ran afoul of allied command with his 'opinions'. It was a sad event (in my opinion) when the allies left the poles to their fate when they rose up against the Germans in Warsaw.
