(1) General Harold Alexander wrote about the capture of Hans von Arnim in his autobiography, Memoirs: 1940-1945 (1961)

My opponent was General von Arnim, and as a prisoner on his way back to General Eisenhower's H.Q. he stayed the night at my field headquarters at Le Kef. I didn't invite him to dine with me - I didn't feel the gesture to be necessary; but I had a special tent and a little mess set up for him so that he could be looked after comfortably and in a manner I considered right and proper of a man in his position. He was, in fact, entertained in the same style as any other guest I might have had, but he was alone with his A.D.C. When he arrived I had a short interview with him, but I didn't ask him for any information or embarrass him in any way interrogation could come later.

Von Arnim I found to be a fine, old-fashioned type of German general of distinguished family, an officer who was a gentleman and who had belonged to the 4 Garde Regiment zu Fuss-the same number as my own regiment, the Irish Guards, or 4 Regiment of Foot Guards - in the Kaiser's day. During our short conversation I felt that he was expecting me to say what a splendid fight he and his men had put up, but I'm afraid I disappointed him - we hadn't yet won the war. However, looking back I think it would have been a little more generous of me if I had been more chivalrous.
