Was it Galland in the anecdote about Goering when (Galland) told that the first fighter had been shot down East of Rhine?
Goering got completely upset and said: "It is not true! I order it not to be true!" To which Galland, very politely, and with a very subtle smile bowed and replied, "As you order, Herr Marschall."
I think that is an American project.
It is not, Mate.
