They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old

I divide my officers into four classes: the clever the lazy the industrious and the stupid. Each officer posses at least two of these qualities.
Those who are clever & industrious are fitted for the highest staff appointments.
Use can be made of those who are stupid & lazy.
The man who is clever & lazy however, is for the very highest command; he has the temperment & the nerves to deal with all situations.
Whoever is stupid and industrious is a menace and must be removed immediatly.
- Gen-Baron von Hammersteiner, Equord C-C, Reichswehr
