How we Won the War

Danny,

Our superiority over the Germans at warfare was explained by a German exchange officer at Lyneham many years ago now.

During a TACEVAL(for the uninitiated, Tactical Evaluation or practice bleeding pretending that WWIII had been declared), said EO watched the inevitable chaos for a while and then remarked (needs a German accent for full effect) "Now I know how you won the War, you practise chaos!"

After the Transall crashed in Crete somebody told him "You never did do very well in Crete." He agreed but (again accent needed) " You are right but, tell you what, we'll take you on the best of 5!"
