It been some time since we heard from the General so for your edification here are some "Pearls" for the General:

"The Germans have damn little arme left, unless they have reproducing tanks."

"There are apparently two types of successful soldiers. Those who get on by being unobtrusive and those who get on by being obtrusive, I am of the latter type and seem to be rare and unpopular, but it is my method."

"Aviation cannot take prisoners, nor hold ground."

"There is only one tactical principle which is not subjet to change. It is, "To use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wounds, death and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time."
