All-Out War #6

"The Giant Battle Book" 1980 doesn't displease with the cheese. The Viking Commando takes center stage with this issue again. This time he is hurtled into the future to find a subterranean culture fighting against a spin off of a mongol horde, only to be sent back to WW2 to finish the battle he started. Very weird.
The second story "Hard Hat Heroes" is the actually the second story I've read about civilians building runways and airstrips for the Marines in the South Pacific. Very interesting and a good view of another side of war.
The third story stars The Black Eagle, and has him taking on a German U-boat. Not terribly interesting but short.
The fourth story is really well written and a unique story as well. A WW1 soldier who is the sole survivor of his group hides out in a cave for 27 years only to come out and find him self face to face with German Nazi's. Kind of like the stories I've heard of Japanese soldiers from WW2 who were left on islands and never knew the war had ended. I think even Gilligan's Island had a story like that.
Number five is The Fightin' Three. The "Double Death Of Hitler". If you thought he died one way, this story shows what really happened. It could've.
