"Friend or Foe" follows American soldiers who encounter Nazi war criminals attempting to escape into the forest. An officer persuades his men not to fire on the Germans, claiming they are medical and administrative personnel left behind by retreating combat troops and pose no threat. However, Staff Sergeant Ludlow later discovers that one of the Nazis on their protected list is actually a wanted war criminal and murderer being hunted by the enemy. The soldiers must then protect these men while simultaneously trying to eliminate the dangerous fugitive among them.

Contains 4 stories
Friend Or Foe?
8 pp · War

A lone G.I. is shot down on a quiet road in late 1944, and his uniform becomes the key to a Nazi escape plan—one German officer dons the American clothes to infiltrate a roadblock defended by Lieutenant Lowell's inexperienced replacements. When a suspicious, combat-hardened soldier named Moore spots something wrong, he must convince his skeptical commander that the friendly stranger asking for passwords is actually the enemy before it's too late.

Goon Squad
8 pp · War

A decorated soldier's bravery becomes a death sentence when the Chinese Communist Forces put him on their "must kill" list, sending infiltrators and suicide squads to hunt him down behind friendly lines. Staff Sergeant Ludlow must decide whether to hide with his platoon—endangering everyone around him—or slip into enemy territory to confront the Moscow-trained masterminds orchestrating his assassination before they strike again. Written with letters by typeset, this Korean War tale explores the terrifying cost of heroism when courage itself becomes a target.

2 Marines and 10,000 Miserable Japs
4 pp · War

Six Marines land on a heavily fortified Japanese island with just one hour to sabotage ammunition, fuel, and aircraft stockpiles—a mission so dangerous it seems like suicide. When Mullaney and Pete Smith target the enemy radio station, things go sideways fast, forcing them to adapt on the fly and wage an improvised daylong battle against overwhelming odds. With the odds stacked impossibly high, these two leathernecks must find their way back to the waiting submarine before the window closes.

The Big Lie That Fooled Hitler
3 pp · War
Adolf Hitler

In 1944, Adolf Hitler and his generals face their greatest uncertainty: where will the Allies invade France? When intelligence reports point to Calais, Hitler commits his forces there—but British deception has orchestrated an elaborate ruse, complete with a decoy fleet and falsified radar signals, to convince him the real invasion will happen elsewhere. As thousands of troops storm ashore on D-Day, Hitler remains convinced the main assault is still coming, and his refusal to redirect reserves costs the Nazis dearly in the battle that decides the war.
