Evidence: | 'There is a Brigade Order out about the show on the 19th. In it we read that it was supposed to pin German troops to this front to prevent them from fighting the Russians. On the other hand, the official communique (known as Comic Cuts) dismisses the whole thing in two lines. Can't help thinking Comic Cuts has a better sense of values.' |
