“Never kill a German,” Leslie told them a few days later. “Put him in the hospital for six months instead. He’s more bother to his commander alive than dead. A wounded soldier has to be looked after. A dead soldier is buried and forgotten.”
Judith L. Pearson, The Wolves at the Door: The True Story of America's Greatest Female Spy
