He was paraphrasing Patton's Famous speech to the troops, but it was awkward and bizarre. Well, it was HERZOG the director who WROTE the script. He's a European, not an American, so perhaps this well known phrase was not common knowledge to him as it was to many American viewers.

i think he got it from patton and figured no one would notice.
shareWas it really THAT well known before George C. Scott made it iconic in Patton?
