War Stories is a comic book series written by Garth Ennis and illustrated by a number of artists.
A third series, now titled War Stories, published by Avatar Press, commenced in October 2014 and ran for three issues.
In the final days of World War II the commander of a Tiger tank tries to save his men by convincing them to desert so they may surrender to the Americans before they are killed fighting the Soviets.
Once there he finds that their sacrifices are being ignored at home in favour of news about the battle in France and a massive, possibly suicidal, push is planned to attract headlines.
