| The fire is everything... ![]() | Hm, the only reference I can find to that quote are a few forum signatures, and that's not the most reliable "proof of authenticity" The closest I've come is this quote from the book "The Trail of the Fox" by David Irving Quote:

| Optio | Yeah i've tried looking everywhere i can think but i can't find anything other then peoples signatures. Comparing this to other Rommel quotes it dosn't exactly 'sound' like him either if you get my drift. |

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | it does sound like him though. but i doubt he would say something like this when he knew that his own troops were one of if not, the, best trained troops. could go either way if u ask me

If I had to make a guess, I believe someone else came up with a Rommelesqe quote, paraphrased from the many quotes Rommel supposedly made during the war. They then attributed the quote to Rommel and nobody called them on it.
