Army War Heroes #3
This anthology issue contains two distinct war stories. "Red-Ball Hot-Shot" depicts U.S. Army soldiers in combat, including a sequence where Sergeant Wallach and his unit engage in firefighting against Japanese mortar positions following a landing operation. A separate story recounts the exploits of Captain Joe Rutchik and Sergeant Musso's weapons platoon as they encounter Nazi gun positions, with dialogue revealing tactical challenges including a heavily reinforced concrete gun emplacement blocking the road ahead and a disabled tank creating additional obstacles.
