Gen. Gneisenau: That time in Kolberg I witnessed the hour of birth of the German freedom. When Princes and Kings left their folk.
Frédéric-Guillaume III: Gneisenau, you don't has a good opinion of princes and Kings, right? You don't have a good opinion about me too? Honestly, Gneisenau?
Gen. Gneisenau: Wrong, your majesty. Otherwise I wouldn't stand in front your majesty. But a king has to lead his folk. This is his natural and godgiven task. And if he can't do it, he has to resign.
Quotes from Horst Caspar movies and TV shows
Gen. Gneisenau: The best devence of a fortress is the attack.
