Yanks in Battle #2

Private Fred Norris, an ex-coal miner haunted by his family's mining disasters, discovers enemy forces tunneling under the American position in Western Germany—forcing him to confront his deepest fear by leading a counter-tunnel operation. As Norris and his men dig to intercept the Red assault from below, the Communists shift tactics, and he must make a desperate choice to protect both his comrades underground and the post above. In this six-page war story, a soldier's personal jinx becomes a matter of military survival.

Corporal Mac Estes scoffs at Hollywood's myth of the lone soldier conquering armies, convinced that one man against overwhelming odds is a doomed man—until a storm at sea and a crash landing on an enemy-occupied island force him to live out his worst nightmare. Trapped, outgunned, and cut off from help, Estes must reckon with what he actually believes about survival and resistance as waves of Communist forces close in around him.

Lt. Manson's small squad of G.I.'s is captured by invading Soviet forces in the frozen Alaskan mountains, with their native guide Karoo appearing to lead Colonel Malko and his men toward an American outpost—but Karoo has other plans. As the blizzard intensifies and the cold becomes deadly, the guide uses his intimate knowledge of the treacherous terrain to turn the tables on their captors in a desperate gambit for survival.
