submarine, and the world at large will be free to lead a pleasant
existence. Fights will take place, but they will not be visible; Britain
will lie in ruins; in Germany every man and every woman will belong to
an anti-aircraft crew. With an annual production of six thousand
anti-aircraft guns, every little village in Germany will soon have its
own battery and its own searchlight section, and the whole Reich will be
one single, integrated defence unit. Blinded by the reflection of
mirrors, the enemy pilots will be able to see nothing; if a mirror is
placed at each corner of a five-hundred-metre square, the desired effect
will be obtained. I wonder what people would have thought if I had
spoken of figures of this kind before the war!

The Navy has the most efficient anti-aircraft defences. I have seen
them, and the shooting was magnificent. Thirteen hits for every hundred
shots! This is attributable principally to the fact that the Navy is
taught to shoot accurately from continuously moving platforms. As a
result, their total of 'planes shot down is colossal. The best A.A. gun
is the 8'8. The 10*5 has the disadvantage that it consumes too much
ammunition, and the life of the barrel is very short. Reichsmarschall
Goring is most anxious to continue producing the 12*8. This double-
barrelled i2'8 has a fantastic appearance. When one examines the 8'8
with the eye of a technician, one realises that it is the most beautiful
weapon yet fashioned, with the exception of the
12-8.

With a new type of weapon, much often depends on the hands into which it
is first delivered. If it comes first into clumsy, incapable hands, we
are very liable to write it off. We had that experience, nearly, with
the '34 machine gun. One must never condemn a weapon because one has not
got the hang of how to use it. The '34 machine gun fired consistently,
even in the greatest cold, as soon as we found the right lubricating oil
for it.

The grenade-throwers issued to the Engineers, which were completely
noiseless, were rejected time after time for one reason after another;
and I must say that, every time I poked my nose into a report on the
subject, the reasons given for rejection seemed to me to be, to say the
least of it, very thin.

If one restricts instruction to the essentials, one can teach a soldier
all he requires to know for all practical purposes in three months. The
rest he will learn gradually, with experience. Under war conditions, a
soldier learns more in three months than he learns in a year in
peace-time. Instruction acquired in the face of the enemy cannot be
bettered." [pages 669-670]
