„Если бы не Гитлер, Германия могла бы выиграть войну.“
Nebýt Hitlera, mohlo Německo válku vyhrát.
Источник: [Jarmila Mevald Vodičková, 5 největších vojevůdců II. světové války. History revue, čís 11, 2010, s. 59]
There are only four types of officer. First, there are the lazy, stupid ones. Leave them alone, they do no harm…Second, there are the hard-working, intelligent ones. They make excellent staff officers, ensuring that every detail is properly considered. Third, there are the hard-working, stupid ones. These people are a menace and must be fired at once. They create irrelevant work for everybody. Finally, there are the intelligent, lazy ones. They are suited for the highest office.
„Служивший в немецкой армии - это пожизненный профессиональный солдат.“
Served the German military as a lifelong professional soldier.
Эрих фон Манштейн Цитаты о мужчинах
Вариант: Сила характера и стойкость, однако, решающие факторы. Уверенность человека, стоящего в строю, лежит на силе его характера.
As for the tendency to deride the many different badges and [medals] created in the course of the war, people should merely bear in mind what feats our soldiers accomplished.
„Я не знаю человека, который мог цепляться так за слова, как Гитлер.“
I have known no other man who could show the same tenaciousness in a debate as Hitler.
I tried at that time to relieve the Sixth Army, of which I was supreme commander, above Paulus, by counterattacks - but it was not possible. I gave the order finally for the Sixth Army to break out, but then Paulus said it was too late and not possible. Hitler did not want the Sixth Army to break out at any time, but to fight to the last man. I believe that Hitler said if the Sixth Army tried to break out, it would be their death.
Эрих фон Манштейн цитаты
„Я полон решимости защищать честь немецкой армии!“
Ich bin fest entschlossen, die Ehre der deutschen Armee zu verteidigen!
„У Гитлера отсутствовал … военный опыт, который не могла заменить его интуиция.“
What Hitler lacked ... was military experience based on experience - something for which his 'intuition' was no substitute.
„Гитлер повернулся спиной к действительности.“
Hitler turned his back on reality [at the strategy table].
"Нюрнбергское интервью" - Роберт Геллатели Леону Голденсону (14 июня 1946) - 2004
If Paulus's army had capitulated before the end, the Russians would have had the advantage of withdrawing forces against Paulus and against the southern front, where I had only two Romanian armies. Therefore, the resistance of the Sixth German Army, even to the death of the last man, was necessary.
„Гитлеру не хватает… кого-то, по-настоящему знающего стратегию.“
[Hitler] lacked the ... figure of a [someone] truly trained in strategy.
„Гитлер … видел преимущества в военных планах, не думая о том, что может произойти на самом деле.“
While Hitler ... had an eye for any tactical opportunity [that] was offered him, he still lacked the ability to assess [the] practicality of a plan.
