G.I. Combat #30

1955-11-01 · 36 pages

This anthology issue contains multiple war stories. "Operation Booby Trap" follows a young soldier who discovers his father, long thought dead from an incurable disease, actually survived and conducted secret intelligence work for the United States during the war—his dying wish was to be buried under the American flag. The second story depicts soldiers in combat attempting a dangerous rescue mission, with Corporal Sam Keats knocked unconscious during a savage attack by Baker Company's comrades, leading to a tense situation where the patrol must retrieve him while under enemy fire. A third segment features a comedic encounter between American and enemy soldiers involving wordplay and cultural misunderstandings, with a German officer attempting to trick his captors through linguistic confusion about English idioms and slang.
