The Secret Heroes

Issue Number: 5366

Family loyalties are often stronger than any other ties. That’s why Olaf Milang couldn’t believe what he was told by resistance workers when he returned home to his native Norway on a secret mission. And even when he was taken to his hometown, he found it hard to accept that his own brother was acting […]

Issue Number: 5365

Hot off the back of the D-Day landings, the Special Raiding Force are back!

Born Brave

Issue Number: 5364

Sergeant George Ward, British dispatch rider, was roaring back to his base in France after a routine delivery job and looking forward to bacon and eggs. Ahead of him the road swung round a long, fast curve and into a dark forest — and what happened when George raced into that wood was to give […]

Hold the Bridge!

Issue Number: 5358

Bullseye Bruno

Issue Number: 5355

Leutnant Matthias Schenk is a fanatic — exactly the kind of Nazi the Luftwaffe need behind their experimental night fighters and radar technology.

Demolition Squad

Issue Number: 5354

The supplies dropped into the Burmese jungle were vital to the Chindits, but pilot Roy Raven found these routine operations lacking in excitement. It even seemed fairly tame playing taxi driver to a demolitions expert sent out to destroy an enemy tunnel.   However, things heated up when Roy’s Dakota was shot down and he […]
