Mlle. Marie / comic story / 12.67 pages


  • Genre:war
Characters:
Antoine
Synopsis:
US Rangers off-shore need a diversion to make a landing. The signal goes out to Mlle. Marie. But a brutal Nazi named General Von Ekt is determined to trap her. Marie outwits Nazis by hiding in a rowboat mid-river, shooting grenades out of the air, staging fake roadblocks to rescue prisoners. Von Ekt publicly challenges Marie to wreck a tank-supply train - at the same time the Rangers want to land. She takes the bait and is caught, but escapes with a tear gas belt that also explodes ammo and wrecks the train. The Rangers land, and Marie is safe.

A USN frogman team tries to sink a Nazi raider ship with charges, but one is killed and other caught.
