Oh, boy! What fun! Look at all the awesome new gear that has arrived: helmets, gas masks, and grenades, for starters!

Kamiko and Miyori are packing some heavy-hitting firepower, it looks like!

The mosquitoes are going to have a field day with all this exposed flesh venturing in to the humid jungle!

Great pics! Lots of potential here! Good stuff ahead, I have no doubt!

Yeah, it takes a lot of plastic plants to create a true jungle setting. That said, I like the well-illuminated, colorful look of your version of the jungles of Dinosaur Valley. That second pic, of Kamiko kneeling in the foliage, looks really cool!

What is the big bolt-action rifle with the wooden stock? Now that's a dinosaur hunting rifle!

I`m not much into the Girl figures , but I like the quirkiness of them , and the diorama and photography are superb . Where is Mr. Bond ?

Who do you think is taking all the photos?

Yes! Where ever did Stahltruppe find such a trove of brand new WWII era weapons and gear? Packed away in trunks and hidden in closets for decades? Will those grenades still work 90 years after WWII ended?

Oh, don't be silly! Trunks and closets? What nonsense! Obviously, Stahltruppe used Die Glocke to retrieve the supplies, fresh as the day they were made.


Or, of course, Erika & Korps may have stumbled across the caches of Nazi era weapons long rumored to have been smuggled across the southern US border from Central and South America by party sympathizers before and during the war, stored in dry desert caves, carefully packed for safe and secure long-term storage, to be used by advance troops in the eventual invasion of North America; troops who would have been landed on the relatively smooth desert terrain by an invasion force employing hundreds of Messerschmitt ME323 Gigant transports and Junkers JU 322 Mammoth gliders.

Leaks purportedly from still-classified documents relating to the infamous Roswell Incident suggest a secret test landing of a JU 322 gone awry.

That's actually silly enough to be included in the joint comic.

I typed that out just for laughs, but then it started to make sense… in terms of the story. I’m hoping to script out a scene today.

Excellent. I was thinking that arms and supplies would have been carried to Nazi-friendly countries like Argentina and Paraguay and maybe some in Central America by U-Boat. Hitler, if he escaped to South America would have also done so by U-Boat I think, and there is an actual end of war U-Boat mystery to serve as a basis for that theory,...er myth.
