Today in Comics History: it's Hitler's last day alive. And he's spending it with Baron Zemo? The guy who accidentally glued his mask to his head? Well, you do you, Hitler.

And then, just as it was foretold by Roy Thomas in the iconic What If...? #4: another comic depiction of the (Original) Human Torch killin' Hitler on this very day in 1945. Thanks, Jim Hammond! Now, it's Miller Time.

But Roy! (you're no doubt asking now) If The O.H.T. killed Hitler, then how come, in another comic you wrote, the Torch never even shows up at all? Howcum, huh? And I guess now we'll never know.
![Wow, somebody needs to show up and break the tension in this scene. Captain America? Deadpool? Screwy Squirrel?](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj37Pv7wGBFqKHiTtQFPVGrho3pdpwxSsfOhTrjMSVqYbILQcW-oU2QWW6JlT-SZ23-mqU38Zhwa8P4B0nOF03XQ_HUf6L_k9UnkNLDVtVdPp8KZwq2UbLvyOMA7nMT9y74v32wJJELlsBvNyHReDRm_WhGuhT15DKfZJBgPprdq2NV6lj8aZhl3w/s1600/0430-letskillhitler-lastdaysofthejsa-b.jpg)

At least in that comic Roy remembered that the Russians captured Berlin today in comics history. (Altho' this panel wound up out of sequence on the wrong page, even in the reprint!)

Nobody ever mentions that Zola also transferred Abe Vigoda’s mind into the body of the Fish-Monger.
