| The Baron, introduced as German, is English now, just as the magazine shifts to a more explicit anti-Nazi stance. |
|
| I really like the Shock Gibson story. It shows how exaggerated was the concept of German science and war machines. Before the US entered the war the idea that the German's were nearly invincible was real. |
