shortly after his victory at el alamein, bernard montgomery dined with the captured german general wilhelm von thoma. montgomery, famously self-centred and arrogant, was roundly criticised by the british press and opposition mps in the house of commons. winston churchill astutely deflected the criticism. "poor von thoma," he said. "i too have dined with montgomery!"
蒙哥馬利在阿萊曼一役奏凱后不久，邀被俘的德軍將領威廉．馮．托馬一起晉餐。蒙哥馬利自大狂妄，素為人知；他此舉更遭英國報刊和反對黨的下議院議員猛烈抨擊。邱吉爾輕輕巧巧擋開了評論的矛頭。他說：「馮．托馬可慘了。我也嘗過和蒙哥馬利晉餐的滋味！」
