And the thing is, it wasn't a retcon, unless there had been another series where the Soldier had been adventuring after WW2. It's a perfectly logical continuation from what had already been done.

Much like Ennis' version of Hans Von Hammer fits in perfectly between Kubert's and Pratt's.

Very true! And there's even a mention, briefly, about how the Soldier is not superhuman, only a human "in perfect physical condition", so you could even fit this in the DCU proper!
