Comments:
This is a solo story featuring Olaf. Blackhawk does not appear.

This story, told in rhyme, takes place around Christmas time, therefore it occurs chronologically out of sequence with other stories in this series.

Synopsis:
Olaf is shot down by a Nazi plane. He survives the crash and makes his way to a family home in the woods. The house belongs to the Meyer family of Jews who offer the Blackhawk shelter. The Nazis soon come hunting for Olaf. They chase the Meyers from their home, but a sudden blizzard stops the Nazis in their tracks. Miraculously Olaf and the Meyers survive. Once the threat has passed, Olaf returns to the family home to share in their celebration of Chanukah.
