Tricky people Germans. Have they or haven't they? It's the sort of thing most people like to do during wartime; use demolition charges to blow things up. Almost everyone does it. But you just don't know with the Germans. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. It's not a question of being flippant or careless it's a question of making things difficult for the enemy. And that's what war is all about in some ways. If there are demolition charges in place that would force the enemy into one course of action - if there are no demolition charges that would force the enemy into another course of action. The charges are both there and not there until you get to the bridge. Sort of like Schrodinger's cat but with steel and explosives instead of felines and cardboard. By the way Schrodinger was an Austrian scientist who didn't like Nazis.
Time for admiration. This is really a great drawing. Just look at the placement of the arms and the way his trunk is leaning and slightly twisted in the effort to climb into this precarious position. Whoever drew this really was an excellent student of anatomy.
What a bunch of lowlifes. Could there be anything worse than Nazi pirates tooling around in high powered tanks? Surely they have some inkling that they will be the target of every round, every bullet, every shell, every bomb, every missile, every rocket, every grenade, every dagger, every every anything that their enemies could aim, hurl, launch, fire, shoot, lob, target, arrange, unleash, unfurl, throw at them? Possibly they like that kind of thing. Possibly it's an issue around the lack of boundaries they were set when they were younger. Perhaps it's a needy centre of attention thing that only true bad guys really know about.
Done it! Ahh...the long moment with slashing. So much can go right in a situation like this but as we can see experience and a steely grip will see you through.
A lesser man might collapse at this point but our friend here is determined to see this through to the very end and beyond. Oh the exhilaration.

Take any War Picture Library, Battle Picture Library or Commando comic and you will always find those famous last words “arrgghhhhh” or even “donner und blitzen”.
Cowards try to prove themselves or officers interfere by trying to run battles “by the book”. The enemy is treacherous. Mysterious locations hold significant secrets. Sometimes a simple gun is the focal point of a unique karmic destiny.
There are those who are lost or left behind enemy lines where they invariably make a discovery – a hidden base, a wonder weapon or a traitor. The host of intangible struggles are often more significant such as the dark secret, the family shame, the family curse or the stigma of not being like the other chaps.
Strangely enough for stories about war and battle the killed the dead and the dying are usually absent.
There's a lot to like (and make fun of) among the dramatic titles, fantastic artwork, impossible stories, daring heroes, nasty bad guys, body building and not quite diamond rings advertisements.
