BBC News: University includes Nazi quote in email to students
"A university has apologised for emailing students a quote by a notorious Nazi general in what was meant to be a motivational message.
The email quoted Erwin Rommel's saying: "One cannot permit unique opportunities to slip by for the sake of trifles."
The University of Exeter said the quote, used by a member of staff in its career advice service, was "randomly" generated from a website."
Obviously the facts that Rommel was never a member of the Nazi party, and that he was forced by actual Nazis to commit suicide after being implicate in the July Plot to assassinate Hitler is probably a bit too nuanced for the reporter....
