Just to get my pedantic quota (PQ) up, Ludendorff didn't say 'lions lead by donkeys' the quote was made-up by historian who's name escapes me at the moment and has been taken as fact ever since, especially by those whose anti-establishment agenda it fits (when discussing WW1) Subsequently it's been taken up by the world and his wife, no problem with that, just felt the need to point out its mythical origin
oh, I know, I'll get me gascape....
