Blackhawk
Blackhawks [Blackhawk; Andre; Chuck (introduction, unnamed); Hendrickson; Olaf; Chop-Chop; 1 other unidentifiable member (see Note #3 for possible candidates)]; Dr. Fritz von Rath; Barbara von Rath (introduction); Abul el Hadoun (villain, Arab leader); Baron von Ziefh (Nazi villain); unnamed Nazi-influenced Arabs (villains, some die); Nazis (villains, some die)
Andre is brought back to Blackhawk Island, to be operated on by the renowned plastic surgeon, Dr. Fritz von Rath, who was recently rescued from a concentration camp. Unfortunately for Andre, the doctor, whose mind is still adversely affected from his captivity and because the Germans hold his daughter captive, gives Andre the face of the doctor's former concentration camp commander, Baron von Ziefh! In the end, the doctor fixes Andre's face, and Andre becomes engaged to his daughter, Barbara.
