If you want to kick some ass and take names just send in Sherman, Hitler, or Patton and let them do their thing. We have had nothing but pussy generals since the summer of 1945.

As a peace-loving man, I have made every effort to give the German nation the defence and the weapons which are appropriate to persuade others also for peace. A hedgehog never attacks another animal except when it is attacked. No one should come near us. We want only our quiet and the right to live. - Adolf Hitler, Weimar 6 November 1939

It's unlikely Hitler said that exact quote, but there are a few books claiming he expressed an idea similar to that in that he thought the people in subjugated countries shouldn't be allowed to possess arms.

Well he would have said it in German so that's an easy get out.
