Quotes 

• Von Ludendorff : Therefore it is not possible to break the enemy's will by offensive operations. Our future objective must be to paralyse the enemy's will to win by strategic defence.

  Kaiser Wilhelm II : And our defensive lines are drawn with the usual precision, hmm?

  Von Hindenburg : Our defensive lines are in ruins.

• Von Hindenburg : How is the Emperor?

  Hintze : You'll soon see for yourself. Unchanged.

  Von Ludendorff : You mean he still ignores what he knows to be the facts?

  Hintze : I mean that if you read those newspapers that demand his abdication, he does not, he does not comment upon them.

  Von Hindenburg : What fortitude! For in all sincerity he never wanted this war.

  Hintze : No, he wanted a victory.

  Von Ludendorff : And he could've had one with more discipline and less treachery.

• Von Hindenburg : The alternative to a liberally reformed Reichstag is anarchy.
