“I had written of Germans as men not super men and this was considered a very weak attitude to take. I couldn't make much sense out of this, and it seems absurd now that we know the Germans were men, and this fallible, even defeatable. It was said that I didn't know anything about the war, and this was perfectly true, though how Park Avenue commandos found me out I can't conceive.” — John Steinbeck
