40:1[edit]
I'm bringing this here to avoid an edit war. 40:1 refers to Wizna, where the Poles were outnumbered 40:1 by the Germans. They did not outnumber their enemies, as that paragraph that keeps being added back is implying. --2001:8003:3800:800:31C8:CA3A:2763:15D2 23:12, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- I suggest reading it closer. The paragraph is using 40-1 as a reference to the song by Sabaton where the Poles were outnumbered. The paragraph also says that "While you will probably outnumber the enemy, it will probably be 3 to 2", which means that the Poles outnumber the enemy about 3 Poles to 2 NATO, unlike the song where the Poles were outnumbered 40 to 1, which means the Germans outnumbered the Poles about 40 Germans to 1 Pole. -CatNip212
- It seemed to say they outnumbered the Germans 40:1. Hence why I reworded in in my most recent edit. --2001:8003:3800:800:1508:9BF7:A193:E26E 04:16, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
Okay, then let's make it extremely explicit and risk killing the joke in the process and protect the reference: but flipping 40-1 just totally butchers said reference. -CatNip212
- Fuck, good catch. I'll flip it back. EDIT: Nevermind, you already did. --2001:8003:3800:800:1508:9BF7:A193:E26E 04:27, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
