Captain America Comics #49
In the waning days of WWII, Captain America faces a chilling new threat in "The League of Hate" — a twisted scheme where Hitler uses disfigured German soldiers who resemble dead American troops to sow division and promote a soft peace. Penciled and inked by Vince Alascia, the story finds Cap confronting these false emissaries of hate before delivering a powerful message against fear and betrayal. The cover, by Alex Schomburg, captures the tension of the moment with striking detail.

In the waning days of WWII Hitler becomes desperate to ensure a soft peace for Germany in order to gain time to build up for the next war so he recruits German troops who look like dead Americans and deliberately has them maimed and left near American lines. The men are sent home to become a fifth column preaching race hatred, down with democracy, and a soft peace. After Cap defeats the cripples, he gives a speech against such evils.
