“You must train harder than the enemy who is trying to kill you. You will get all the rest you need in the grave.”
Leon Degrelle

“They died out there, in countless numbers, not for government officials in Berlin, but for their old countries, gilded by the centuries, and for their common fatherland, Europe, the Europe of Virgil and Ronsard, the Europe of Erasmus and Nietzsche, of Raphael and Dürer, the Europe of St. Ignatius and St. Theresa, the Europe of Frederick the Great and Napoleon Bonaparte.”
Leon Degrelle, The Eastern Front: Memoirs of a Waffen SS Volunteer, 1941–1945

“A country cannot live in disorder, incompetence, irresponsibility, uncertainty, and corruption.”
Leon Degrelle, The Eastern Front: Memoirs of a Waffen SS Volunteer, 1941–1945
