Fightin' Marines #42

1961-07-01 · 36 pages

This issue contains two main stories. "Operation Softie" follows Marines in boot camp at Camp Le Jeune who face fierce training while Mori Warriors attempt to wipe out American forces, eventually leading to an Air Force transport rescue after 48 hours. "Enemy Zone" features Marine Corporal George A. Denton attempting to photograph a Soviet tank near the Berlin border with his girlfriend Frieda Haas, only to be captured by brutal Eastern Berlin Security Police. The second story concludes with the Baker Company Marines undergoing rigorous training, during which boot John Burke and his comrades are exposed to harsh conditions, leading General Lewis to demonstrate to Mrs. Lewis that the Able Company program is more effective than traditional combat-ready training methods.
