You can't make this up I LOL'd so hard at it! It's in a book about military I was reading

so long before the days of the bunker. Hitler was contemplating an invasion of the lower countries in 1939:

The book explains that Jodl warned him against doing so- it says the following word for word

"Hitler was very upset with his commanders for dragging their feet"

"Jodl's warning had little impact"

you can't make it up, even before the whole Bunker drama began..
