Vol. 9, #4 "John Wayne, Yanks to the Gulags!"

Features:

Hollywood's Hero
John Wayne talked tough as he dodged enemy bullets–on movie sets. The fire from critics was harder to avoid. By John E. Stanchak

The Duke's Classic WWII Film
Sands of Iwo Jima wasn’t made until 1949, but the fictional film treatment of the early 1945 battle with the Japanese is John Wayne’s most famous role as a fighting GI.

Devils at Germany's Back Door
All the 504th “Devils in Baggy Pants” Parachute Infantry had to do was jump hundreds of fee past whistling flak, march a dozen miles, and cross a river in canvas rowboats through a monsoon of gunfire. Maybe then Operation Market Garden would succeed. By George Cholewczynski

Yanks to the Gulags!
To POWs in German camps, the rumble of the approaching Red Army was the sound of freedom. Or so they thought. Thousands of GIs ended up in Siberia–or worse. By Brian John Murphy

Operation Pink Panther
A secret plot to blow up US bridges, utilities, and factories came from Hitler himself. But once agents started defecting, or partying like Wall Streeters on expense accounts, could any terrorism get done? By Chuck Lyons
