: when was this phrase first used and by who?is it a recent saying or one thats been around a long time.I know its a alice cooper song but I belive it was around before he wrote the song.Its been sugested that hitler said it in responce to the normandy inviation.

Yes, it's older than the Alice Cooper song, but the Hitler attribution is, well, preposterous. Quite apart from his humorlessness, he didn't express himself in English.
