Does anyone remember the names of the small comic books from the 60s/70s which were all to do with the war?

Commando?

With that famous phrase.... "Donner und Blitzen! Englanders!!"

Also Air Ace, Battle and Combat were their other lines. I remember boys at school used to read them. I used to read Disney.

I read every copy of "Combat" and "Commando" that I could get my hands on in the 60's when I was a teenager. I also discovered all the Biggles novels and books by an Australian writer whose name I have forgotten. These were the Captain Mettle series.

As a boy, I read anything I could get my hands on ! Enid Blyton or course, but also Arthur Ransome and especially the Malcolm Saville" Lone Pine" series.

If I could get my hands on the Saville books, I would read them all over again ! Sheer Bliss...a book is a good friend indeed.

I've seen those small Commando comic books.

The word 'Banzai!!' came up a few times!!

Thanks guys & gals, Commando for sure but I don't remember Combat. Commando must have been cheaper!
