But in 'Fantastic Four' #387 that's exactly how the Axis wins!

Have a nice day.

As a reward for your faith...

If you like WW2 stories, check out Alan Furst and Philip Kerr.

"Night Soldiers" is Furst's novel about a young Bulgarian fisherman whose brother is killed by a Fascist mob. The hero is recruited into the KGB to fight in Spain. Reads like a cross between Ian Fleming and Franz Kafka.

Kerr's 'Berlin Noir' stories follow an ex-cop who works as a private eye in Berlin circa 1933 to 1946. He's not a fan of the Nazis and they return the favor.

Thank you for the recommendations! Been wanting to scratch the itch since reading Follett's Eye of the Needle.

All of Furst's books are good. For some reason they are marketed as a series, but each is a stand alone. One of his gifts as a writer is that all his heroes are different. His Polish mapmaker is nothing like his Dutch ship captain or his French film producer.

Enjoy.
