I found the quote, I remembered hearing it in “The World at War”

Colonel Berndt Von Kleist in 1941, “The German Army in fighting Russia is like an elephant attacking a host of ants. The elephant will kill thousands, perhaps even millions, of ants, but in the end their numbers will overcome him, and he will be eaten to the bone.”
