    I am planning to add a section with Third Reich-related quotes to my site, the Third Reich Factbook at http://www.skalman.nu/third-reich/
    The section will include quotes from political leaders (Hitler, Goebbels etc), military leaders (Rommel, Manstein, Hausser etc) as well as regular soldiers & citizens, prehaps also from from those who fought against the axis.

    If you know of any good (interesting, fascinating etc) quotes, please send them to me. Apart from the actual quote I would like the source and if possible a brief comment on the context.

    What I had in mind would look something like this:
    "Can't you rid us of our commander?"
    Lammerding to Guderian when the Army Chief of Staff was visiting Himmler at Heeresgruppe Weischel HQ in mid-March 1945
    (Source: "Panzer Leader" by Heinz Guderian)


    Any and all help is appreciated, thanks.

    That's a great idea and I will dig into my favorite of books "Panzer Battles" by F.W. von Mellenthin.

    Sorry Otto--I had to include that one.
