Erik Larson Quote

One soldier in the Ypres Salient, at Messines, Belgium, wrote of the frustration of the trench stalemate. We are still in our old positions, and keep annoying the English and French. The weather is miserable and we often spend days on end knee-deep in water and, what is more, under heavy fire. We are greatly looking forward to a brief respite. Let’s hope that soon afterwards the whole front will start moving forward. Things can’t go on like this for ever. The author was a German infantryman of Austrian descent named Adolf Hitler.
