Malaria was much more widespread than it is today.

Listen to him give an actual speech, a bit different from George C. Scott.

Thankfully Hitler and those yes men around him did not listen to his advice.

He was referring to Sicily but the mainland had the same problem, big time. Every summer malaria was a major epidemic. The ague.

It's always a little weird listening to the real man speak, after growing up watching George C. Scott's performance.

Though a great general in his own right, all of Rommel's successes in North Africa against the British can be traced to intelligence gained from SIGINT intercepts from a US Army Colonel.

Yeah, his real voice has a lot less...gravitas.

Some of Scott's more famous lines from the movie would sound outright weird coming from that voice. Its really no wonder that most of his fellow generals didn't take him very seriously, he does not have a very imposing presence.

Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restrain these immoderate rains with which we have had to contend. Grant us fair weather for Battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call upon Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies and establish Thy justice among men and nations. Amen.
