A tribute to my favorite SS man, Josef "Sepp" Dietrich.

"He had an extraordinary sense of a growing crisis and for finding the favorable moment for action. His rare and brief speeches to his men contained no flashes of brilliance, but were palpably heartfelt and the men took them to heart. His brilliance was in his amazing presence. Anyone who experienced it can only recall with wonder and admiration how he, in the darkest night of a crisis, with everything pushing us back, would face the waves of retreating men, his collar pulled up, his hands shoved in his pockets up to the elbows, uttering sounds incomprehensible, but full of recognizable rage, he could not only bring his men to stop, but even to turn around and head back in. Unforgettable too, was his warning to unit leaders of any rank as soon as they set of to battle; 'Bring my boys back!'
