G.I. Combat #42
This issue contains four war stories: "Invasion Boomerang," in which American soldiers pursue German paratroopers into the mountains and trigger an avalanche that forces the enemy to surrender; "Red Squads of Berlin," where Sergeant Begley leads troops along the German-West German border and discovers suspicious terrain markers that reveal an enemy attack plan, which the Americans exploit to ambush the Reds; "Scorched-Earth Escape," depicting Soviet forces retreating and destroying supplies to prevent their capture; and an untitled story featuring American soldiers intercepting enemy food supplies being smuggled to an Eastern sector, uncovering a larger enemy operation in the process.
