The date of publication (if it can be called that) is 1989. It looks like one bit of card with a front and back but no content.

Does not look an ASL item to me. The same guys even sells a "ASL Memoir 44 board".

I'm fairly certain that helmet was produced at the same factory which supplied the helmets for Beetle Bailey and his comrades. The 'panzer' probably could not ever be identified even after its image having been posted in the Da Paul thread.

What really has me confused though is the significance of the large set of yellow lips near the muzzle of the machine gun.

It's a magazine, you can just barely see a staple top-left-side (midway into the yellow header) sticking slightly out of the left binding. And again on the reverse picture, both staples are top and bottom on right side of binding.

I've got the whole set of those comics from that publisher. They are not all SS comics, not by a long shot. The art is ok, the stories are general entertaining. The vehicles and guns look ok, the artists struggled with faces. They are much better than world of tanks comics. It's a struggle to find a good WW2 or WW1 comic, with good art and good stories. Childhood memories of sgt rock, the haunted tank, and unknown solider are hard to beat.

oh yeah, the "ASL" is just click bait

I clicked on the ebay link on a browser that had the details of my ebay account, and now I'm getting email updates of all these irrelevant sales... :(
