Rex Steele: Nazi Smasher

..

It is 1940, and the United States is at war with the Nazi’s. The US government has just been informed that Eval Schnitzler, a high ranking Nazi general, has occupied a remote island off the coast of South America. Convinced that his motives are more than leisurely, the United States sends Rex Steele, Nazi smasher extraordinaire, to uncover and foil Eval’s evil plans. Rex flies in to the Amazon with his sidekick, Penny Thimble, and the two embark on a journey full of action, adventure, thrills, and chills – and of course, a whole lot of Nazi smashing!
