Quotes

  • It is possible that the Germans will attack, and it is necessary that the fleet be in readiness.
  • No actions are to be taken against the Germans without our consent.
  • We have fine troops, they are inured.
  • We'll spin them out like a bobbin thread.
  • We intend to check up on the fitness of our small units...If each such particle attains real efficiency and brings genuine military skill to our large units, our troops, should they be called upon to fight, will carry out their operations without sustaining heavy losses.
  • It is necessary to keep in mind the possibility of simultaneously conducting two, if not three, offensive operations of various fronts on a theater of war with the intention of strategically shaking the enemy's entire combat capability as extensively as possible.
