		He is enraged by the impending collapse, and shouts "in a terrible voice that the pacifists and shirkers were losing the war." When a new NCO suggests that further fighting is stupid, Hitler flies into the sergeant with his fists, beating him.

		Many of the Pals battalions would not long survive that first brutal baptism, but their spirit and fighting qualities have gone down into history.
