“The Russians have learnt a lot since 1941. They are no longer peasants with simple minds. They have learnt the art of war from us.” – Wehrmacht Generaloberst Hermann “Papa” Hoth at Kursk (Healy, 1992, 90)
“On the German side, the reserves which will become so desperately necessary as the war situation develops […] will be tied down and thrown away uselessly. I consider the operation that has been planned a particularly grave error, for which we shall suffer later.” – Colonel Reinhard Gehlen, Wehrmacht intelligence analyst, writing about Operation Citadel (Fowler, 2005, 66).
