One story depicts American soldiers evacuating a town after the Reds closed the Berlin Gate, with Russian and East German forces clashing against the American fighting unit. Another story features soldiers in Korea engaging Communist Chinese forces, including combat involving tanks and hand-to-hand warfare with a bare-foot warrior. A third narrative shows an American colonel working with an East German fellow to extract intelligence, with the colonel later questioning the German using truth serum to determine his loyalty and gather crucial information about enemy positions.
Stationed at a frozen Korean outpost in 1952, Cpl. Beamer finds his resolve tested when an enemy voice across the neutral zone speaks perfect New York English, invoking memories of home and old friends to lure him into a trap. S/Sgt. Purkey, a battle-hardened World War II veteran, sees through the Communist's psychological game and waits for the right moment to turn the tables. When the enemy makes his move, Beamer learns a hard lesson about the cost of nostalgia in wartime.
When the call for "Corpsman!" rings out across the battlefield, these unarmed medical corps volunteers rush into the chaos of shells and fire to save lives. Armed only with red cross markings and raw courage, they face severe casualties in their mission of mercy. This 1962 war story honors the soldiers who choose to heal rather than fight.
PVT. Joseph Jones, a full-blooded Comanche nicknamed "Snake-Eater," struggles to fit into the modern Army during the Korean War—his unorthodox combat style and disdain for standard procedure have made him a liability to Dog Company. When a brutal night assault threatens to overrun the ridge the men are defending, Jones discovers that his natural warrior instincts might be exactly what his outfit needs to survive. With letters by typeset, this eight-page war story from Fightin' Army #47 transforms a misfit soldier into an unexpected hero on the bleak slopes of what will become known as Comanche Hill.
Captain Jesse Riggs commands a tank patrol along the East German border, standing guard against Colonel Rokovich's brutal Communist forces—until word comes that a captured C.I.A. agent is being held in the town across the line. Leading a small squad on an unauthorized raid, Riggs must slip past sentries, navigate hostile territory, and find his man before Rokovich's interrogation techniques yield the names of the underground network. What unfolds is a tense midnight operation where one American captain's defiance against Soviet oppression sets off a chain reaction neither side expected.
