Quotes by Sönke Neitzel (?)

“Przerażenie, wie pan, to przerażenie, jakie odczuwaliśmy na początku, że człowiek w taki sposób może obchodzić się z drugim człowiekiem, ono z czasem jakoś zelżało. No, tak to już jest, prawda? Widziałam to później sama po sobie, że z czasem zaczęliśmy do tego wszystkiego podchodzić 'na luzie', jak to się dzisiaj ładnie mówi.”
― Sönke Neitzel, Soldaten: On Fighting, Killing, and Dying, The Secret WWII Transcripts of German POWS
