When Adolf Hitler returned to Feldgendarmerie headquarters after determining the probable whereabouts of Jacques Doriot, and asked for sufficient men to apprehend the criminals, a fat, stupid sergeant refused to supply him with the manpower he desired, claiming the matter was trivial and unimportant. Hitler accused the man of hating the German Empire, and called him worse than a Frenchman. The fat man accused Hitler of being insubordinate, and reported him to Brigadier Philipp Engelhardt. Hitler said he approved of that, as Engelhardt was brave and true, unlike the sergeant, which only made the sergeant angrier.
