A name switch.
Something useful if you are working as a spy for your government, which the Unknown Solider was use to doing, but it was the title of the book that changed, going from the Star Spangled War Stories to Unknown Soldier with #205, with covers still by Joe Kubert, and stories written by Bob Haney.
The Unknown Soldier wasn't there from the beginning (or was he?), in
Star Spangled War Stories #3 (November, 1952), this coming from 3 issues of Star Spangled War Stories which spun off of Star Spangled Comics....the Unknown Soldier moved in with
Star Spangled War Stories #151 (June-July, 1970) from
Enemy Ace, slowly taking over the title through
Star Spangled War Stories #204 (February-March, 1977), with
Unknown Solider #205 (April-May, 1977), continuing his war, hiding his identity to fight his foes through the end, with
Unknown Soldier #268 (October, 1982).
Even though it might have seemed aggressive to take over the title, the Unknown Soldier shared his good fortune, and many friends of his would visit, including
Sgt. Rock, the crew of the
Haunted Tank, Mlle. Marie and the
Losers.
