“There are only four types of officers.
First, there are the lazy, stupid ones. Leave them alone, they do no harm.
Second, there are the hard-working intelligent ones. They make excellent staff officers, ensuring that every detail is properly considered.
Third, there are the hard-working, stupid ones. These people are a menace, and must be fired at once. They create irrelevant work for everybody.
Finally, there are the intelligent lazy ones. They are suited for the highest office.”

“No Senior military commander can for years on end expect his soldiers to lay down their lives for victory and then precipitate defeat by his own hand.”

“Si Hitler s¨en tint de plus en plus au principe de la d└fense ┐ tout prix ce fut parce que cette m└thode r└pondait ┐ sa nature profonde. Il ne connaissait que le combat brutal, au paroxysme de la violence. Sa conception r└pondait beaucoup plus ┐ celle des masses qui venaient se faire tuer devant nos lignes qu¨┐ celle d¨un escrimeur └l└gant qui sait rompre pour pouvoir mieux porter le coup d└cisif. A l¨art de la guerre il substituait finalement la force brutale, dont l¨efficacit└ └tait garantie par la puissance de la volont└ qui l¨employait.”
