There was much discreet talk in

The general praised the British
for their tenacious resistance and
continued:
"The British believed they could
rely on the strength Of machinery.
The employment OF tanks and great
numbers OF machine guns is typical
OF their methods OF warfare"
The German infantry, the general
adds, had only one nights normal
rest during five or six days OF bat
