"The time has now come to prove ourselves worthy of the trust placed in us by our nation. If circumstances force us to fire upon the French, our once victorious ally, let it be done with the firm conviction that we are striking not at the French people, but at the men who prefer Hitler's slavery to freedom. If we fight, hit hard and break clean. '''There is glory enough for us all.''' Good luck. Go with God."</ref>
