Do I really need to explain the sentiment here? (To some, apparently, but not to you, gentle reader.) The U.S. had joined the war effort in December of 1941, so by April 1942, we can certainly see that American comics are more and more overtly standing with the troops.
Didn't age well, but I'm sure the troops would have gotten a kick out of Hitler suffering such humiliation. The war will last another three years, outlasting the superhero craze and sending a lot of characters of various comics lines (DC's roster less than most) to the front in fatigues, converting to war strips. But we're not there yet.
It's funny to think these same heroes would probably go after Stalin later, but are "working for him" here.
