    "Czechoslovakia has ceased to exist"
    Adolf Hitler - 15th March 1939

    "All right, they're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us... they can't get away this time." - Lieutenant General Lewis B.Chesty Puller (surrounded by 8 enemy divisions)

    (addressing to his troops before Operation Overlord, June 5, 1944)
    "There is one great thing that you men will all be able to say after this war is over and you are home once again. You may be thankful that twenty years from now when you are sitting by the fireplace with your grandson on your knee and he asks you what you did in the great World War II, you WON'T have to cough, shift him to the other knee and say, Well, your Granddaddy shoveled shit in Louisiana. No, Sir, you can look him straight in the eye and say, Son, your Granddaddy rode with the Great Third Army and a Son-of-a-Goddamned-bitch named Georgie Patton!
    - George Patton

    The best tank terrain is that without anti-tank weapons."
    -Russian military doctrine
