Maybe the Chaplin is saying "Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius"

I doubt it. That's the ancient inspiration for the modern quote, "Kill them and let God sort them out." More likely, "Dona nobis pacem" from the Agnus Dei.

[CINDERS]

Over the eons it morphed into the modern lingo still means the same "Get the objective, kill the enemy when ever possible, establish a foothold, of the dead God will sort those that are worthy"
And it ain't the ones whom started the wars that will be sitting in heaven...........
