'The Awesome Rebellion'

Not to be confused with Man's Life, Man's World, Man's Peril, Man's Book, Man's Illustrated, Man's Exploits or any number of similarly titled men's adventure magazines, Man's Day is a relatively obscure example of the genre, about which I've been able to find out little. That said, as a Hillman Publication, it would have been a stablemate of the better known Epic and Real Adventure Magazine.  In addition to men's pulps, Hillman also put out a range of true crime titles, such as Crime Detective.  As this February 1961 cover indicates, the contents of Man's Day would seem to be pretty much standard fare, with its focus seeming to be upon war-related stories.  The cover story is, perhaps, unusual for its time, highlighting the Auschwitz concentration camp, although centering on Allied PoWs held there, rather than the Jews and others facing genocide in the camp.  I'm guessing that there were limits as to just how harrowing the publishers were willing to go in the pages of a men's adventure magazine.

'Seaman Duggs' Dilemma: Nine Battling Brides on Shipwreck Island' sounds like the ever-popular formula tale of a seaman shipwrecked on a South Pacific island inhabited by nymphomaniacs, after his ship is torpedoed by the Japanese.  'The Three Mortar Loving Wars of "Gunny" Diamond' is probably the usual tale of wartime heroics, in which some tough Marine NCO kills several hundred Japs single handed, armed only with a mortar tube.  Or something along those lines.  The stories in these magazines were all pretty much interchangeable, with only the names of the enemy changing over time - within a few years the same story would be set in the jungles of South East Asia and feature the Viet-Cong as the bad guys.  It might all be generic, but I have to say that the cover painting is pretty striking, the expressions of the PoWs, not to mention their emaciated state, hinting at the deprivations of the Nazi death camps far more explicitly than the story it illustrates would dare to.
