Here is an excerpt but have not been able to find the whole speech.
"I wanted to reach the Volga, to be precise, at a particular spot, at a particular city. By chance it bore the name of Stalin himself. But don't think that I marched there just for that reson, it was because it occupies a very important position...I wanted to capture it and, you should know, we are quite content, we have as good as got it! There are only a couple of small bits left. Some say: 'Why aren't they fighting faster?' That's because I don't want a second Verdun, and prefer instead to do the job with small assault groups. Time is of no importance to me. No more ships are coming up the Volga. And that is the decisive point!"
