Issue: #5
Publisher: DC
Year: 12/1952
Grade: VG 4.0

The lead follows an infantry platoon forcing a dawn push through hedgerows to crack a crossroads while a green lieutenant learns to lean on his veteran sergeant. A forward observer crawls beyond friendly lines to bring artillery onto a concealed gun battery. An air segment spotlights a bomber crew nursing a shot-up ship home on two engines, proving cool heads beat heroics. The closer features a tank-destroyer team using smoke, terrain, and timing to outfox a heavier enemy panzer. Short one-page “service life” fillers punctuate the issue, keeping the focus on ordinary GIs solving tactical problems under fire.
