The thoughts were echoed by a captured German officer struggling to explain how he found himself a prisoner of war:
" I cannot understand you Australians. In Poland , France and Belgium once the tanks got through the soldiers took it for granted they were beaten. But you are like demons. The tanks break through and your infantry keeps fighting."

I think that sums it up nicely.
