    This was definitely a mega blockbuster at the time, with an all-star cast! ps, Montgomery's "Operation Market Garden" made the Allies miserable, the biggest defeat of the Allies after the Normandy landing, and the biggest stain on Meng Shuai's life...

    So procrastinated, scattered, and without waves, a surprise attack and defeat became a running account, and the cluttered atmosphere was even more unbearable. The German army inside has almost no sense of existence, and it feels like a blind cat meets a dead mouse.
