    An epic scroll full of stars. The emptiness of the superstructure contrasts with the narrow road of the enemy soldiers at the bottom. The detailed and intricate multi-angle depiction of the airborne troops is like an iron-clad mother ovulating in the sky. The huge contrast between the Allies' refusal to surrender and the Germans agreeing to a ceasefire towards the end brought out a hoarse but powerful cry.
