Comments:
This story, which takes place during World War II, is continued from Wonder Woman #228.

Several details are introduced in this story to make the Wonder Woman comic conform to the TV show.
1) Wonder Woman's adventures are now set during World War II. As evidenced in Wonder Woman #228, this means that this is the Earth-2 Wonder Woman.
2) Major Steve Trevor is depicted as a brunette while actual Golden Age stories show that he is blond.
3) Hippolyte is blond while in Golden Age stories, she is a brunette. Later Wonder Woman stories published in the 1950s also depict her as a blond.
4) General Blankenship, a character created for the TV series is introduced. Golden Age stories frequently used Colonel Darnell instead who is not in evidence here. In the TV show Blankenship's first name was Philip. However, the name on his office door shows that his first initial in the comic is J.
5) Etta Candy is Blankenship's secretary. This is not consistent with her Golden Age appearances which show her as a rotund college student at Holliday College.
6) Diana Prince's rank is given as Yeoman. In the Golden Age she was a nurse and a Lieutenant.

The introduction to this story claims it takes place in 1943, but it more than likely takes place in 1942.

Wonder Woman's knowledge of the future and of Earth-1 is wiped out by Hippolyte.

Synopsis:
Wonder Woman is temporarily stunned when she is struck by the time-ship of the Red Panzer. The Nazi takes her magic lasso and attempts to escape. The Amazon pursues him in the time-ship and retrieves her lasso. However, her bracelets are welded together when she stops a shell fired at her by the Nazi. As a result, she loses her strength, and the Red Panzer escapes.

Steve Trevor finds Wonder Woman and pries her bracelets apart. While the Amazon answers a call to return to Paradise Island, Steve follows the Red Panzer on his own and is captured. On Paradise Island, Hippolyte uses the magic lasso to remove Wonder Woman's knowledge of the future from her.

Wonder Woman then returns to Washington where Etta informs her about Steve. Wonder Woman is captured too when she tries to catch the Nazi. The Red Panzer then uses her as target practice for missiles. Sensing that the missiles are targeting her bracelets, Wonder Woman removes them. As a result, she goes berserk. The rampaging Amazon is able to escape the missiles, rescue Steve, and stop the Panzer. Steve is able to put her bracelets back on before the uncontrolled fury of Wonder Woman kills anyone.
