Quote1 In a war, Bucky, many people suffer! It isn't necessary to be in the armed forces..to be a casualty! Quote2
Captain America

Continued from last issue... Captain America, Bucky, Celia & Dr. Rawlings are prisoners of an army of Nazis that are planning to launch a V-2 rocket on British soil from within Greymoore Castle, targeted at London in hopes of destroying the Allies leader.


Being taken to their cells, Captain America and Bucky manage to break free and rescue Celia. The three go to rescue her brother, Dr. Rawlings, who helped the Nazis and now has become their prisoner as well because he had served their purpose. However, in freeing Rawlings, his sister inhales a lethal dose of gas and dies.


When stopping the Nazi leader from launching the rocket, Rawlings sacrifices his life to stop the Nazis, and Greymoore Castle is destroyed as well. Meanwhile back in France, the attack on Nazi forces there were turned back by Sgt. Duffy's squad, even though they believed that Steve Rogers had deserted them.

Notes

  • This issue features a letters page, Mails of Suspense. Letters are published from Robert matthews, Ian Forrest, Louis J. Della Fiore, Joe Hartlaub, and William Peters. The bottom of the letters page features a mail-in advertisment for the Mighty Marvel Marching Society (M.M.M.S.).

Trivia

  • Last issue, Steve Rogers deserted his Ranger unit in France to rescue Bucky Barnes and combat the sinister plot at Greymoor Castle. The issue of his desertion under fire is never clearly resolved as this series returns to modern day tales for our Star Spangled Avenger next issue. However, in next issue, Captain America, telling the story of Dr. Rawlings to the Avengers, suggests that Private Rogers was helped by high-ranking Army Intelligence officers who were privy to his secret identity.
