There is nothing more enjoyable for us than German corpses. Slaughter the German! begs the old mother. Slaughter the German, implores the child. Germans are not human beings. Germans are single-celled living creatures, soul-less microbes which are equipped with machines, weapons and mortars. When you have slaughtered one German, go ahead and slaughter another one, there is nothing more amusing for us than German corpses.”

Ilya Ehrenburg
