“The cleanliness and tidiness of the German soldier is amazing; there are no long-bearded and ragged faces and heads; you cannot see a soldier who doesn't have clean shoes and uniforms. Well-mannered is the look of every German soldier; well-mannered is his behavior! Almost every soldier carries a photo camera with him — that is an integral part of his personal equipment just like the shaving machine, the comb and the toothbrush. The German soldier is inseparable from the books and newspapers: wherever he stops, he reads or writes. His corresponding is carried by the mail cars - his contact with his family and homeland is alive and uninterrupted, wherever he might be, on the front, rear, or in the hospital. The discipline in this army is ideal.” — Written by Milan Banic (Belgrade, 1941)
