In that classic scene, the class warfare angle erupts from Der Fuhrer: "I conquered Europe and I never went to an (elite) academy like you Generals."

Der Fuhrer still harbored resentments from the First World War when the Generals sent massive human wave attacks into blistering machinegun fire in those great open killing fields (like the Russian soldiers against Ukraine today).

The Little Corporal was also injured from a poisonous Mustard gas attack just one month before the Armistice which seemed to haunt him the rest of his life, even though he had recovered.
