It is 1942, and a German army is attacking a hill held by English troops...
As the Germans approach the English position, they hear an English voice over the hill.
"One English soldier is better than 10 German soldiers!"
The German general laughs as he sends 10 men up the hill to capture it.
There is gunfire for a minute, and then everything goes silent for a moment, and they then hear the same voice.
"One English soldier is better than a hundred of yours!"
Annoyed, the Soviet general sends a hundred men to capture the hill. There is gunfire and bombs going for ten minutes, and everything goes silent again. Suddenly, the same voice yells out -
"One English soldier is better than a thousand German soldiers!"
Enraged, the general sends a thousand men, accompanied by tanks, artillery, and mortar teams, and tells them to not return until the hill is theirs.
For half an hour, hell breaks loose: bombs and explosions, gunfire, screams and death all around, and then it goes silent again.
One German soldier crawls back, severely wounded and battered.
Before the general could say anything, the soldier says:
"Do not send more troops, General; it's a trap! There are two of them."
