Refers to WWI but cool quote anyways. Maybe a little hold over to WWII.

" Shortly before World War I, the German Kaiser was the guest of the Swiss government to observe military maneuvers. The Kaiser asked a Swiss militiaman: "You are 500,000 and you shoot well, but if we attack with 1,000,000 men what will you do?" The soldier replied: "Shoot twice and go home.""

Anyone who tells you Germany could have conquered the world is a fool. They could have intimidated the world into accepting their gains, and they could have beaten any of the countries they faced individually (even Russia, but the key term here is "individually" - a 2 front war is almost impossible to win).
Individually they did... Czechoslovakia, Poland, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Norway, Greece and Yugoslavia and were well on the way to doing it to Great Britain but got distracted.
