- Synopsis
- Sharon Carter's "death" revealed. Steve Rogers begins a career as a commercial artist. The World War II survival, Anna Kapplebaum, recounts her experience of a Nazi deathcamp Diebenwald (fictional) which included watching her parents being beaten to death in front of her eyes and the loss of her siblings. She spent more than six years in the camp, and only days before the expected liberation from Allied Forces was rescued by Captain America, narrowly escaping the final purge of witnesses ordered by Colonel Steiger.
