That's on the site. I believe that's a misquote of the big guy. The real quote is on the first page of the SH3 manual. That or that's the wrong one. But I'm pretty sure.

Another possibility is that he said it more than once and revised his statement.

It's actually possible that the widely accepted quote is the false one, you know. It's happened before:p!

Admiral Dönitz - wow. It never occured to me that he might still be alive (or is it an old interview?). I just never think of people of history that way

I've seen them all before but I'll have to tune in to catch them again. Good WWII documentaries are hard to find on tv. Most of them are just attempts to demonize the German side and the SS in particular. Some of those Channel 5 attempts were laughable.

A good series for it's time.
