Says he: "It would be up to the railroads to schedule things so that there wouldn't be much deadheading. The burden would...
...fate of Germany were over. In a mixture of egocentrism and utter despair, he said to his aide: "If I was Commander of the Allied forces right now, I could finish off the war in 14 days." Author Ryan leaves one question tantalizingly unanswered: How did Mrs. Rommel like the grey suede shoes...
