    Defend the bad against the worse.

    For where we used to build and love
    Is no man’s land, and only ghosts can live
    Between two fires.

    Hark, all you ladies that do sleep!
    The fairy queen
    Bids you awake, and pity them that weep.
    You may do in the dark
    What the day doth forbid.
    Fear not the dogs that bark;
    Night will have all hid.
    Thomas Campion (1567–1620)

    Never forget that you are Germans. Never forget that you are Nazis!
    Edmund H. North, British screenwriter, and Lewis Gilbert. Admiral Lutjens (Karel Stepanek)
