I did end up trying to research it a bit for my own edification, but I wasn't successful in finding the paraphrase given by the commenter. The closest I came is to an uncorroborated report from one of his staff that quoted him as wanting generals like Hitler's. However, I couldn't find a signal reference that the intent of wanting these generals was to kill democrats.

I would be happy for someone to provide more evidence, as I gave up after 10-15 minutes.
