"Bau kematian membanjiri kami bahkan sebelum kami melewati tembok pertahanan. Lebih dari 3200 tubuh telanjang dan kurus telah dilemparkan ke kuburan dangkal. Yang lain berbaring di jalanan tempat mereka jatuh. ... Wajah Eisenhower memutih menjadi topeng. Patton berjalan ke sudut dan sakit. Saya terlalu jijik untuk berbicara. Karena di sini kematian begitu kotor oleh degradasi sehingga membuat kami tercengang dan mati rasa."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

The smell of death overwhelmed us even before we passed through the stockade. More than 3200 naked, emaciated bodies had been flung into shallow graves. Others lay in the streets where they had fallen. ... Eisenhower's face whitened into a mask. Patton walked over to a corner and sickened. I was too revolted to speak. For here death had been so fouled by degradation that it both stunned and numbed us.
