Part 2 of the Nazi Cap story where Captain America has been brainwashed by the Red Skull.

Finally, we check in on Bucky, in a Nazi prison, making his escape.

Nazi Cap is brought before Hitler.

Even hypnotized, Cap cannot pull the trigger. So a Nazi soldier pulls it for him.

In the letters page, when a fan explains that he doesn’t like a super serum being part of Cap’s origin–he’d prefer a peak human like Batman–Stan notes that the serum has faded from his system and modern Cap is now just a normal person.

What?
