"right lads, if you advance the germans will slaughter you all, if you try and retreat, we will slaughter you all. if you win we will send you somewhere else and slaughter you all, if you lose, you have already been slaughtered. so the orders for today are to die, die and die some more.
OH! i almost forgot, have you all got your spoons?"
