### 1941

Hitler's reign of terror was challenged by brave men and women from across the world, known as The Invaders, The All-Winners Squad, The Twelve, or the Liberty Legion. The beginning of the team can be traced back to the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I don't think it's necessary for me to summarize that, you probably have graduated from high school. The Captain America mascot made its debut and the United States entered World War II as a result of the attack.

The Allied Forces released comic books that were drawn by Timely Comics staff, mocking Hitler and highlighting Captain America in the same month. The German leader's public opinion was severely impacted by this, and he retaliated by sending an assassin to the US to murder artist Carl Burgos. The android Human Torch and Toro successfully stopped his plan and began to aid Cap and Bucky in their fight against Nazi saboteurs.

Adolf Hitler sought to create his very own Captain America by transforming Wilhelm Lohmer, a child, into the Master Man through the use of the cosmic cube. Master Man attacked British Prime Minister Winston Churchill on the orders of the führer. Captain America, the Human Torch, and a returning Sub-Mariner were aided by the Atlantean Royal Guard to save the situation. Churchill was saved by the 'Invaders'. By doing so, the surface world became aware of the existence of Atlantis.

Shortly thereafter, Captain America was tasked with searching for and saving the Howling Commandos in the North African nation of Wakanda. Upon meeting King Azzuri, he joined forces with his Black Panther guard to combat Soviet agents disguised as Nazis, who included Baron Strucker and Red Skull.

### 1942

Axis saboteurs spread throughout the country after America entered the war. Jeffery Mace, disguised as The Patriot, decided to take action against them. He assembled a group of other Homefront heroes and they fought against Hitler's latest experiment, the Warrior Woman. The team was named 'Liberty Legion' after they assisted the invaders on multiple occasions.

The Nazis made an effort to create underground munitions factories beneath the forests of Germany, but Rockman and the Stone Man thwarted their plans.

The war spread to Europe, particularly Transylvania. The Nazis started executing the Roma population of the region, resulting in the vampire lord Count Dracula being forced to oppose their efforts. Lord John Falsworth was transformed into Baron Blood by Dracula who fed on him during this period. Falsworth joined the Axis powers and again attacked the invaders in Great Britain. Baron Blood's mortal vessel was supposedly destroyed and the Invaders were able to defeat him with the help of Spitfire and the Union Jack.

### 1943

Under the direction of the Red Skull, agents from both the United States and Soviet Union are sent to retrieve the Cosmic Cube from the Nazis. The 'Secret Invaders' accomplish their mission, but are thwarted by the Skull who joins Nazi Germany.

The Secret Invaders were indoctrinated by the Axis Powers to form the Battle-Axis. The team comprises Spider-Queen, Golem, Aarkus, Volton, Strong Man, Human Meteor, and Sky Shark, with Dr. Death as its leader. A combination of the Invaders and the Liberty Legion defeated them.

The European theater was visited by the ethereal Madam Satan and the ghost of Attila the Hun. The two made an attempt to overthrow Hitler, capturing his home in the German countryside. Donar, who possessed Mjolnir, successfully prevented the coup.

Baron Togi, a Japanese soldier, made an attempt to attack Atlantis months later, with assistance from the U-Man. Namor's partner Subbie was fatally wounded in the attack. The nation opts to stop supporting the Allied Powers and refuses to continue fighting for either side.

### 1944

On the sixth day of June, 1944, the Allies invaded the beaches of Normandy, France. Their battle is over within days thanks to the Liberty Legion's assistance.

On June 12, 1944, American soldiers, Combat Kelly and Cookie Novak, sabotage V-2 Rockets that were aimed towards England in France, resulting in the majority of them hitting Berlin. Adolf Hitler was enraged by this setback and covered up the failure.

Captain America was able to intercept a drone plane loaded with bombs launched by Nazi technician Heinrich Zemo on December 18th, 1944. It appears that the Captain and his partner, Bucky, were killed when the plane exploded. Jeffrey Mace played Captain America for the remainder of the war.

### 1945

The Legion's surviving members launched an assault on Hitler's bunker on April 30, 1945. According to folklore, the Human Torch went against his instructions and discharged a fireball into Hitler's face. To reassure the public about androids, he has been portrayed as committing suicide.

On May 8, 1945, the Allies of World War II acknowledged Nazi Germany's unconditional surrender of its military as the end of World War II in Europe.

### Notes

Shield has meticulously documented the activities of the Golden Age heroes in their database. Shield was not invented until after the war, however.

The Timely Comics staff developed several fictional characters known as members of the Liberty Legion to sell comics to children.
