"Hitler's Private Paradise" depicts Colonel Teeger assuring a German general that no army can penetrate his valley fortress, only to face unexpected American assault and eventual court-martial for his failure. "The Wound That Wouldn't Heal" follows a soldier carrying shell fragment shrapnel in his heart from Salerno who encounters a German soldier in Italy and chooses mercy over vengeance, later returning to England to train new troops. Additional stories detail soldiers' experiences across various theaters of war, including armored regiments in Italy and operations in the Balkans.

Getting Out
4 pp · War

PFC Dick Harding is counting down the days until his discharge after nearly four years of service, fed up with the monotony of Army life and small-town postings—but a compassionate commander offers him overseas deployment, and a fateful leave back home in New Jersey forces him to confront what the uniform really means to him. When Harding returns to base, a revelation about who he's become as a soldier sets him on an unexpected path forward.

The Enemy Demands!
8 pp · War

When Soviet operatives kidnap Sgt. Tom Dixon in retaliation for his interference with their earlier attempt to forcibly return a defector to Moscow, the American M.P. finds himself bound for the Iron Curtain aboard a Soviet transport plane. A young lieutenant at the airfield races against the clock to stop the aircraft from taking off, setting the stage for a tense Cold War standoff on the tarmac. Dixon's impulsive heroism has made him a marked man—and now his own side must decide how far they're willing to go to bring him home.

The Wound That Wouldn't Heal
4 pp · War

A hardened American soldier encounters a wounded German soldier during wartime and makes an unexpected choice—to tend his injuries rather than leave him to die. As the two men and a local woman shelter together in a farmhouse, an unlikely connection forms that challenges the hatred each has carried through years of brutal combat. In a war that has hollowed them both out, they discover something that no battlefield victory could offer.

Hitler's Private Paradise!
7 pp · War

After a daring escape from a secret Nazi stronghold high in the Bavarian Alps, Lt. Col. Mike Teeger rejoins the Allied forces with crucial intelligence—and a personal vendetta against Hitler's fortress fortress valley. From North Africa to the beaches of Normandy and beyond, Teeger rises through the ranks, training an elite armored regiment for one final mission: penetrating the fortified Alpine valley Hitler once boasted was impenetrable. Now a general himself, Teeger leads his men toward the objective that's haunted him since 1942, determined to finish what he started.
