I am finally back! I'm sorry for the unnannounced hiatus. I do have a good excuse though. First, my best friend Pit Face came from the US to Greece last month, so I had little chance to sit down to work on comics. Then right after she left, they fire-bombed my car. It's burnt up now, and it was done in continuation of an assortment of threats we've been getting over our activism. Anyway that took up more of my time so… yeah, more delay. :/ But now I've more or less sorted things out with paperwork and stuff, so we resume with another page!! Bohm gets all the ladies. :P What he's referring to by ‘September’s bombing' is the bombing of the collaborationist National Socialist Patriotic Organization (ESPO) by a pretty early resistance group called PEAN (Panhellenic Union of Fighting Youths) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panhellenic_Union_of_Fighting_Youths . In early November 1942 PEAN's leader (and key members) was caught by betrayal, and that's one of the things they are celebrating here. The other thing is that they feel they will be able to bring the Paneuropean Fascist Youth over to Greece with PEAN gone (who were bombers) and up to then no real strong resistance with a solid stance. The Paneuropean Fascist Youth was founded on September 15 1942 in Vienna, and spread to Italy and maybe Denmark as far as I know (from newspapers of the era). It's very hard to get info on this particular attempt of the Axis to make far right national socialist youth militias across Europe. Anyway, right now they feel they're on a roll and their informants are the key to quenching every gaggle of insurgents. :P
bravo1102: That's a great idea! Thank you. I am not sure if it's exactly what I'm looking for though. For example in Greece there was a greek regiment of sort-of-waffen SS that Hitler kept commending and using to show that greeks supported him and whatnot but a fascist youth organization never happened (during occupation). Any attempts to rally and organize it died with the ESPO bombing. But I'll look into it!// Used Books: Thank you! And yes, I'm pretty sure Bohm's torture is a little less aggravating like what he dishes out.
You might want to research the foreign units of the Waffen SS for more hints about fascist youth organizations. Nearly every occupied country had an SS foreign unit recruited from its populace and many of those units grew out of fascist youth groups. There was a Hitler Youth SS Panzer division (12th SS panzer division Hitlerjugend) so everybody joined the act. Great page again as always. That September of 1942 was a pretty low time for all the Allies.

Great ballroom scene and party outfits! Why do I keep missing your pages? This is a stunning contrast to the horror of Fortis's capture.

Very lovely backgrounds and body language (as usual)! Tortuous might have a different meaning if you're used to being on the other side of the chains.
