Comments:
This story was not originally titled.

At the conclusion of this story, Zatara has stopped the war in Europe and deposed Hitler. Since the war continued for several years, it should be assumed that Hitler simply ignored Zatara's demands to go into exile and continued the war. Zatara clearly never followed through to enforce his demands.

Synopsis:
Zatara meets a group of young boys who convince him to end the war in Europe. The magician and his assistant Tong cross the ocean and begin disrupting the German military. Using magic, Zatara animates the Nazi weapons and turns them against their masters. After sending much of the equipment to England, Zatara heads to Berlin.

Zatara confronts the German people and speaks out against Hitler. He then confronts the Nazi leader in person. Hitler is beaten and pleads for mercy. Zatara demands that he go into exile and end the war.
