Marines Attack #4
The main story "The New Breed" depicts a Marine combat operation where soldiers engage enemy forces, with one soldier urging his comrades into battle. A secondary story titled "Trapped" recounts the autobiography of Dr. Hans Killmer, a German biochemist born in Berlin in 1910 whose father worked for the famous bio-chemist Dr. Ludwig Killmer; Killmer describes his escape from Nazi Germany, his forced service on the German naval raider Blitzer, and his mission to destroy Allied shipping. The narrative continues with military dialogue involving Captain Burke, Lieutenant Nolton, and Sergeant discussing a tank engagement and a Bazooka team attack, with orders given to report back to Captain Burke.
