Notes: A pure essay about the weapons used in Korea.
he last weapon described is "Atomic Annie", an 84-ft long 280-mm cannon that can deliver atomic artillery shells 20 miles; in the final panel, beneath a mushroom cloud, Cookie looks grim and says, "I saw Hitler's death chambers in Dachau and Buchenwald during World War II and I was a prisoner of the Reds in Korea ... an' if that's the kind of
enemy we have to fight:, then no weapon is too awesome or too terrible to use against the butchers!"

Tom Lammers: Story Information
Notes: WW II: Kelly runs into Mussolini himself the day before the Duce was killed by Italian partisans. The style of the opening caption and other indicators suggest that Chapman may be the author here (and possibly of other stories in the issue). - John Benson.
Kelly and Cookie briefly capture Italian Prime Minister Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini (1883-1945) and his mistress Clara Petacci (1912-1945) as they flee towards "the border." The last panel indicates that "the next day" after escaping the two G.I.s, the bodies of Mussolini and Petacci were hanging in the Piazzale Loreto in Milan; that actually occurred on 29 Apr 1945, the day after their execution and two days after their capture by communist partisans near Dongo. - Tom Lammers.
