This early renumbered issue continues the anthology format with several stand-alone WWII tales. An infantry squad pushes through a ruined village while a rookie learns to trust his sergeant; combat engineers race to throw a bridge across a shelled river so armor can advance; a hot-shot fighter pilot discovers teamwork matters more than glory during a tense escort mission; and a tank-destroyer crew uses terrain and nerve to outsmart a heavier enemy panzer. Brief one-page “life in the service” pieces punctuate the action, keeping the tone gritty and grounded in ordinary soldiers’ experiences.
