Pprune Pop,
Me109's ?!
Still I would probably not be too much of a pedant if the pointy end of the thing was coming in my direction with cannon & guns blazing...
Your comments about L.Deighton etc sound spot-on to me, there would certainly be a lot of frightened people, ( and I'd probably be one of them ) but an actual mass mutiny sounds a bit of a stretch.
I thought Stbd's comments about leadership and bayonet charges very true and well observed though.
