One story involves American soldiers who capture enemy soldiers and are ordered to march them to a desert town serving as German headquarters, where the captives claim they will provide valuable information upon interrogation back home. In another story, soldiers attempt to destroy a fuel drum and retrieve it before the enemy uses it, leading to combat involving explosions and a soldier siphoning fuel to escape. A third story depicts military officers planning a diversion tactic involving demolition experts and mines around an island's shoreline to shock enemy guards. The issue concludes with scenes of soldiers in combat, including references to lost tanks and encounters with an old man at a ranch.
When the Germans retake a liberated French town in overwhelming force, Lt. Tate proposes a bold plan: stay behind disguised as locals alongside French Resistance fighters to harass the Nazi occupation and buy time for a counterattack. Working undercover with Marcel and his resistance cell, Tate and his handpicked men must keep the Germans off-balance while avoiding discovery in a town now crawling with enemy soldiers.
When Captain Walsh's reconnaissance patrol is captured in the North African desert, they're marched to a German headquarters for interrogation by the brutal Kapitan Bruning—but the officer's true allegiance may not be what it seems. Bruning offers Walsh a dangerous bargain and a path to escape, though trusting an enemy in uniform could prove fatal.
PFC Abel Coates gets a desperate assignment from the Colonel: deliver a crucial message to a sister unit south of Allied lines, by motorcycle, through enemy-held territory in occupied France. With Sarge's reluctant blessing and a full tank of nerve, Coates sets out into the night, dodging German patrols, scavenging fuel from enemy supply trucks, and relying on quick thinking to stay ahead of an increasingly alert Wehrmacht hot on his trail.
When a reconnaissance mission reveals a heavily defended radar tower on a Japanese-held island, Major Lody devises an audacious plan: Sgt. Jay Brock, Cpl. Mack Tamper, Pvt. Pete Krotin, Pvt. Harry Walker, and Major Lody himself will create a shocking diversion in the waters offshore to scatter the enemy guards while demolition experts slip in to destroy the target. As the five soldiers prepare their surprise package and head toward the island under cover of darkness, the stakes couldn't be higher—thousands of American lives and the course of the war itself hang in the balance.
