Hansi (comic)
Hansi: The Girl Who Loved the Swastika is a 1976 Christian comic, drawn by Al Hartley (better known as the creator of Archie Comics before their left-wing turn, who had become a Christian a few years prior) under the Spire Christian Comics label. [1]
The comic is a pictorial adaptation of the book of the same name, written by Czech American Maria Anne "Hansi" Hirschmann (originally published in 1968 under the title I Changed Gods before taking the present title in 1973). The book is Hansi's account of living in the Czech Sudetenland (which was taken by the Nazi Germans in 1938) and her life as a young Nazi sympathizer, then taken to a Soviet labor camp before escaping to West Germany. It also speaks of her romance with husband Rudy (who she believed had died in the war, only to have survived), their marriage and eventual conversions to Christianity, and later their immigration into America.
