A taste of WWII bureaucracy
This one came from a user on Twitter. Here’s the original tweet;
In TNA today and just came across this wonderful little #RAF minute from D-Day, which should please all those who feel MAA regulations unduly hamper military operations… pic.twitter.com/L9XJtxfs2H

Even on the morning of D-Day, there was some bureaucrat who had to call to a front-line unit to tell them that the way they’ve been loading out their Hawker Typhoons for the last two months is still under evaluation. The Wing Commander’s response is fabulous.

It’s like the time Patton had two divisions taken away from him to help out in other sectors on the Western front and that he was to refrain from trying to capture the town of Trier because he needed four divisions and only had two.
‘When Patton received a message instructing him to bypass the city because it would take four divisions to capture it, Patton replied, “Have taken Trier with two divisions. Do you want me to give it back?”’ (source: https://www.britannica.com/biography/George-Smith-Patton)
