«Die mehrheit Menschen denken, was Krieg ist nur kämpfen Bestandteil, es ist nicht. Das ist warten, auf der nächste Angriff, das nächste Essen, die nächste Morgen.”
(“La mayoría de la gente piensa que la guerra sólo se compone de pelear, pero eso no es cierto. Se trata de esperar, el siguiente ataque, la siguiente comida, la siguiente mañana”
Wilhelm Winter
