15 page Human Torch story "The Invasion of Alslavia"

Characters Kapula; Sahlous; the Nazis
Synopsis The small European nation of Alslavia is threatened with Nazi invasion and the ambassador appeals to Torch and Toro for aid. They take a freighter to the country and when they arrive, they encounter the secret Nazi invasion wall, a large armored wall mounted on tank treads. The firebugs destroy this monstrosity, and then the Torch heads out over the ocean to see if the Germans have devised a means of attack from that direction. Torch and Toro spot a Nazi sub, but when they investigate, they determinate that there is no one aboard. Diving down below, they discover the terrifying Nazi undersea fortress lying in wait to destroy the British and Alslavian cruisers that are sent out to sink the sub. Torch destroys the fortress and all aboard her perish.
