Wasilij Czujkow słynne cytaty

„Wojnę można było zakończyć pół roku wcześniej – nie w maju 1945, ale do grudnia 1944, gdyby nie decyzja Stalina wstrzymująca I Front Białoruski w sierpniu 1944. (…) Moglibyśmy dojść dalej na Zachód, nie do Berlina i nad Łabę, ale aż do Renu. Los wojny potoczyłby się inaczej.”

Quoted in "Unconditional Surrender" - Page 139 - by Everett Holles - 1945

“The Germans underestimated our artillery. And they underestimated the effectiveness of our infantry against their tanks. This battle showed that tanks forced to operate in narrow quarters are of limited value; they're just guns without mobility. In such conditions nothing can take the place of small groups of infantry, properly armed, and fighting with utmost determination. I don't mean barricade street fighting—there was little of that—but groups converting every building into a fortress and fighting for it floor by floor and even room by room. Such defenders cannot be driven out either by tanks or planes. The Germans dropped over a million bombs on us but they did not dislodge our infantry from its decisive positions. On the other hand, tanks can be destroyed from buildings used as fortresses.”

Quoted in "The fall of Berlin" - by Vasiliĭ Ivanovich Chuĭkov - 1968

“Our units were tired. There were many whining pessimists in the army. I threw these panicky people out of the army right away and set to work. I told our men we could not retreat beyond the Volga… I believe that nowhere else in this war was there such bloody hand-to-hand combat. Nowhere else were bayonets and hand grenades used so widely as in Stalingrad…Lieutenant General Rodimtzev's division was first to arrive there and received the fierce German blow. Rodimtzev told me: 'We will fight to the last man, but we shall not leave the city.”
