Lieutenant Joe Tompkins is assigned the task of convincing elite Nazi SS troops of the 3rd Panzer Division that their presence is unwelcome in the French village of St. Vraie during World War II. After initial resistance and combat with the German soldiers, Tompkins succeeds in his mission, and the SS troops ultimately withdraw from the village. The story concludes with the villagers grateful for Tompkins' efforts to liberate their town.

Contains 4 stories
Battalion of Cowards
8 pp · War

Col. Mike Rachmann takes command of the 377th Battalion in Korea, only to watch his inexperienced soldiers fail catastrophically in their first combat action on Gook Ridge. Stripped of their combat role and relegated to backbreaking labor detail, the disgraced men must confront the weight of their shame while their commander bears the burden of his inability to forge them into soldiers. When enemy forces break through the infantry lines, the 377th faces an unexpected test of whether they can redeem themselves.

Supermen, Go Home
8 pp · War

When Lt. Joe Tompkins parachutes into the occupied French village of Ste. Vraie, he finds the locals broken by the brutal SS elite occupying their home—men they've come to see as untouchable supermen. With the underground decimated by a Gestapo informer and a pivotal invasion looming, Tompkins must rally the frightened villagers and an unlikely ally, a one-armed former captain, to strike at the enemy when the moment comes. What unfolds is a test of courage that will shatter the myth of Nazi invincibility in the streets of a small French town.

Rommel's Hero
4 pp · War

After their M3 tank is crippled by a German 88mm cannon in North Africa, Lt. Sorrel and his crew are determined to even the score when they're issued the Army's new Sherman tank with a 75mm gun—powerful enough to take down Rommel's elite panzer unit. The lieutenant sets out into the desert to hunt down the German tank commander who bested them, ready to prove that American firepower has finally caught up.

Fighting Air in Viet-Nam
3 pp · War

A U.S. military adviser on patrol with South Vietnamese troops discovers the true challenge of fighting an invisible enemy in rural Laos Duc—the Viet Cong blend seamlessly into villages, impossible to distinguish from loyal civilians until they strike. When an ambush erupts and soldiers fall, the adviser realizes that winning firefights and capturing weapons may not add up to victory in a war where the enemy is as elusive as air itself.
