Much of Warsaw is ours again!
In many areas, the red and white flag of Poland is flying over the scarred but proud city for the first time in almost five years, and the hated Swastikas have been torn down and burned.
JULIAN KULSKI

Diary entry
4 August 1944
If your new weapons, in which such burning faith is placed, do not bring success, then, my Führer, take the decision to end the war.
The German people have suffered such unspeakable ills, that the time has come to put an end to these horrors.
FIELD MARSHAL GÜNTHER VON KLUGE
Letter to Hitler
