.
I was born into severe poverty
I was conscripted into the army in 1915.
I was awarded a military cross twice for 'undaunted courage'
I then fought in a civil war.
I received more military decorations.
I became a Brigade Commander and then a Divisional Commander.
Immediately prior to the Second World War my Command was attacked by 80,000 troops, 180 tanks and 450 aircraft.
My apparent response to this attack was conventional. But I held back two armoured brigades, encircled the enemy and decimated them. I destroyed an entire enemy army.
I became a General.
My country was attacked and demoralised.
I was made Commander-in-Chief.
I launched a counter attack against the enemy.
By the end of the counter attack the enemy had lost 200,000 men and 90,000 prisoners.
All equipment abandoned or destroyed.
I eliminated the enemy's largest and most battle-hardened army .
I received my country's highest honour, and in my case a number '1' was engraved on that medallion.
I then set upon the enemy in all seriousness.
From this point forward the enemy was in continual retreat until the end.
I won World War II.
My name is mostly unknown. Except by those who know. Eisenhower payed me the highest compliment.
The war in Europe ended with victory and nobody could have did that better than ***** ******* - we owed him that credit. He is a modest person, and so we can't undervalue his position in our mind. When we can come back to our country, there must be another type of Order for braveness, an Order named after ***** ******, which is awarded to everybody who can learn the bravery, the far vision, and the decisiveness of this soldier.
—Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Montgomery, Patton and Rommel paid me high compliments. They were never even in my league, tho they themselves, and the west think they were.
Many people,famous and knowledgeable, have said that I am a friendly, quiet and retiring person.
I have been compared to Alexander the Great, and like he, I am now dead.
Thank your lucky stars I was on your side !! WHO am I
