Here it is: I can see it going either way. Prisoners aren't in uniform, but the main character is wearing pretty fancy boots for a concentration camp survivor. I'd probably go with POW uprising or resistance fighters in prison. And I agree, Cap 46 is the only one that truly noted the atrocities associated with the Holocaust.

I'm not sure if I've already posted this one in this thread, but I thought I'd put it up with a shot of the splash page as well.

No wonder soldiers fell in love with their nurses <3 Is that army regulation? I'd be too distracted to fight. If thats her bra on his left arm, whats that on his head? Her panties?? Guess that explains the phrase, "Going commando."

This might help explain why the Japanese were so intent on capturing American nurses. From Rangers #19, the poor gal had to use her bra to bandage the injured soldier.

I haven't had the Fair '39 or '40 out in a while, but I believe they are both blank on the inside covers. World's Finest were blank on the inside covers until about #8 or #9. My #11 has a Table of Contents on the inside FC and a house ad for the Big 8 of DC comics on the inside BC (Action, Detective, More Fun, Sensation, All American, Star Spangled, Adventure, and Flash). Also, I hate to disagree with MrBedrock, but my Big All Americans have paper covers, not cardboard. They also have all blue printing on the inside covers.

Very cool! Were cardboard covers peculiar to the World's Fair/World's Finest run, or were they fairly common back in the day? I know that the New York World's Fair comics and the World's Finest up to # 17 had cardboard covers, but I don't know of any other comics with cardboard covers. I would guess there are others... anyone?

I love U-boat covers:

A group shot of some cardboard cover comics:

Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse covers... any others?

Forgot I had this Hitler cover:

A few more that haven't been posted yet:

Early in his run, Captain Midnight seemed to concentrate more on the Nazi threat (with some wonderful Mac Raboy covers), but the middle issues of the run featured his exploits against the Japanese. (Don't see as many Japanese sub covers as Nazi U-boat covers...love the sub spotting blimp in the air)

A sampling of Fawcett Japanese WWII covers:

Yeah, where are they? Sorry, can't help you out with the MMC #32. Consolations prizes: Nazi planes, Japanese subs... maybe the U.S. shouldn't paint their ships canary yellow?

Surprised that this one hasn't been posted. It is the greatest Garibaldi and Magellan cover of the Golden Age.

Tule Lake was one of the Japanese-American internment camps set up during WW II. Star Trek actor George Takei was reportedly interned there with his family. And a few others covers:
