An Honourable Defeat Quotes

“When the British started shooting, he simply bellowed the order ‘Cease fire’ in his impeccable English, which they did, until Stauffenberg’s men were safely out of the way. Then Stauffenberg ordered the British to start shooting again, which they did, this time at each other, because they had had the Germans caught in a crossfire.”
― Anton Gill, An Honourable Defeat: A History of German Resistance to Hitler, 1933-1945
