Slow-flying Junkers transports, trailing hooks, tore up Communist telephone lines, so that aid could not be summoned. Heavy artillery, brought up under cover of night to the base of the mountains, began hammering enemy strongpoints.

Now, at last, they offer two products of their own: a wacky farce and an unabashed tearjerker.
