Quotes of the Great War

• Handed on to me as a responsibility conferred
  upon me by God, and I believe, as it is written
  in the Bible, that it is my duty to increase this

  to give an account. Whoever tries to interfere
  with my task I shall crush. -German Kaiser
  Wilhelm 2, 1913
• the whole earth is ploughed by the exploding
  shells and holes are filled with water, and if
  you do not get killed by the shells you may drown
  in the craters. Broken wagons and dead horses
  are moved to the sides of the road, also many
  dead soldiers lie there. Wounded soldiers who
  died in the ambulance have been unloaded and
  there eyes stare at you. Sometimes an arm or leg
  is missing. Everybody is rushing, running,
  trying to escape most certain death in this hail
  of enemy shells. Today, I have seen the real
  face of war -German Musketier Hans Otto Schetter
