Insulting the enemy's skill while being interrogated by the said enemy. What a legend.

Well u have to take it with a pinch of salt.....even though his views about Marseille stood till his dieing day....but if he said it on the interrogators face is an other thing.....but it does not take from the fact that hatrmann was truely a legend.
