Fightin' Army #44

David Cohen, a Brooklyn office clerk turned soldier, finds himself pinned down with his demoralized company in Eastern France, outgunned and outmatched against Hitler's elite Teufelkorps. When a dangerous night patrol goes wrong and Cohen is captured by Kapitan Otto Rhulsbach—the biggest and most arrogant Nazi of them all—the frightened GI discovers he may be the only one who can change the tide of the impending battle. This is a story about how fear and courage can wear unexpected faces, even in a kid from Brooklyn facing an enemy who believes himself invincible.

Sgt. Delveccio leads a two-man detail into a crumbling Korean monastery to neutralize Chinese Communist artillery observers who've been raining shells on his company—only to discover the ruins also shelter a courageous teacher and a group of orphans forced into hiding. When reinforcements arrive and the situation grows desperate, it's the teacher's quick thinking and knowledge of the enemy that may turn the tide and save them all.

After nineteen months in the tropics, PFC Donnie Anderson is exhausted and haunted by nightly enemy attacks—but when a banzai charge costs him yet another sleepless night, his war-weariness hardens into determination. The captain grants Anderson's unusual request to man the observation post alone, and the slow-moving soldier sets a careful trap, knowing the Japanese will strike again. Anderson's plan turns the tables on the enemy in a way that finally lets him—and his unit—rest easy.
