History is too much fun...

These are some quotes which still kill me, from a conversation I had with Nat while we were reading up on Nazi generals one evening. All concern real people, and real facts - though Johan and Dicky are characters of ours. x)

"Kluge frequently rode in an airplane to inspect the divisions under his command and sometimes relieved his boredom during the flights by hunting foxes from the air—a decidedly non-traditional method." – “Decidedly non-traditional. I can imagine Dicky doing that” – “Waving a Winchester around”

“JOHAN alternative states "Women in uniforms are to be shot, unless they take them off."

“WHAT is this like CENTER OF FAIL NAMES or wtf is going on here -- Cäsar von Hofacker”

"As a leader who lectured his soldiers about the honor of dying for the German Fatherland, he was nicknamed "Der Sterber" (literally, "The Die-er")"

“this must be a piss take seriously BOCK also has: “He quickly earned the nickname “Holy Fire of Küstrin””

“Hofacker was later forced to betray him, under Gestapo torture, forcing Rommel to take his own life.” – “THAT HOFACKER” -- “Goodbye desertfox plz - Kluge would not join, despite Hofacker's exhortations. (Kluge later committed suicide, believing that he had been implicated). He's like a walking suicide machine. Also - he tried to kill Hitler, failed, and Hitler killed himself.” – “everyone around him kills themselves

"He possesses the Lance of Longinus (or "Holy Lance”) Johan possessed a Lance of Longinus too”

"Funk was held at Spandau Prison along with other senior Nazis. "

"Hitler is a dancing dervish. He must be shot down." – “dancing <__<>

“Stop, Hammerstein.”

“Because of the attack, he was removed from office and was reduced to his permanent two-star rank of rear admiral.”
