Strange Worlds #20

In "Behind Enemy Lines!" from Strange Worlds #20 (1955), a squad of paratroopers races to secure a vital bridge and disable a key power station, holding the line against overwhelming odds. With Sgt Dana leading a small team on a high-stakes mission deep behind enemy lines, the fight for survival hinges on stealth, courage, and quick thinking.

Sergeant Dana and his three men parachute into enemy territory during the Korean War with a seemingly impossible assignment: infiltrate a heavily guarded prisoner-of-war camp near the Manchurian border and extract an American atomic scientist before a tight seventy-two-hour window closes. What begins as a covert rescue operation spirals into chaos when Dana must decide between his orders and the lives of fellow soldiers caught in the crossfire. It's a high-stakes race against time where every decision could mean the difference between success and sacrifice.

Harold F. Dixon, an experienced aviator and old sailor, finds himself marooned on a raft after his aircraft carrier patrols during World War II go terribly wrong in the South Pacific. Stranded at sea with only the ocean and his wits to rely on, Dixon must summon every ounce of his experience and determination to survive the ordeal.

Corporal Charles Eddy of the 35th Regiment thought he was done for when enemy forces stormed his position at a captured bunker—until a desperate plan using grenades and a trap door bought him time to survive. Trapped and presumed dead by his unit, Eddy spent weeks behind enemy lines, using his wits to call in an airstrike on a vital supply cache before finally being captured himself. When he's reunited with his comrades, he learns an astonishing truth about the recognition waiting for him back home.
