Grade: VG+ 4.5

An early, straight-ahead WWII anthology of self-contained tales. The lead follows an infantry platoon ordered to hold a shell-chewed hill against repeated counterattacks while a green lieutenant learns to trust his sergeant. A combat-engineer squad crawls across a rain-slick bridge to cut time-fuses and keep it from being blown before armor arrives. An air segment spotlights a fighter pilot flying close-support under flak who figures out how to hit the target without friendly fire. The closer teams a scout and mortar crew using flares and map work to break a night assault. One-page “service life” fillers punctuate the issue, keeping the focus on teamwork and practical heroism.
