Fightin' Army #34
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains two war stories. "You Ride with Patton's 3rd Army" depicts American forces under General Patton fighting Nazi troops in August 1944 across the beachheads and fortress Europe, with soldiers using every weapon to combat Hitler's professional soldiers. The second story shows German and American patrols encountering each other in a quiet village, leading to a tense firefight between the opposing forces. Additionally, the issue promotes a contest offering two round-trip flights to Disneyland and other prizes.
When Communist forces break through American lines, a lone G.I. trapped behind enemy positions uses a rifle-grenade launcher and quick thinking to hold back the Red advance long enough for his unit to escape. Armed with nothing but grenades, a cave, and a narrow window of opportunity, he wages a one-man delaying action against overwhelming odds in "Ghost Artillery!"
A sergeant suspects German observers are hiding in the village steeple despite an agreement that it would remain untouched, and he and Pete Donoso volunteer to investigate the abandoned Italian town under constant enemy fire. When German reinforcements arrive, the two soldiers must fight their way through town and up into the steeple itself to confront the spotters directing artillery on their position. It's a tense race against time where quick thinking and courage are the only weapons that matter.
