Diplomacy Quote
GÚnÚral von Choltitz: You certainly are a fine talker. Abraham... a Jew. It's an interesting analogy. I no longer believe in God, but I remember the Bible well. In fact, you're asking me to betray the oath I took to serve my country. You're asking me to betray my whole upbringing. My father was a soldier. My grandfather was also a soldier. My ancestors fought Napoleon in his Russian campaign. And I have been in two wars.
Raoul Nordling: [opening his mouth to speak]
GÚnÚral von Choltitz: No, no, no, no, listen to me. Let me finish. I saw everything thing in those wars. The intoxicating victory and the humiliation of defeat. I, too, want this one to end - the sooner the better. But I will never capitulate.
Raoul Nordling: If Hitler told you to kill your little boy, you wouldn't hesitate? Like Abraham, 4,000 years ago?
