Note: Baron Zemo quashed uprising of his Indian laborers
Many years ago, before the "dawn of the Marvel Age" (i.e., the events depicted in Fantastic Four #1), Baron Zemo (Heinrich Zemo) quashed an uprising of his Indian laborers. His son Helmut Zemo (who would later become the latest "Baron Zemo" before becoming the heroic "Citizen V") watched, alongside his friend, Eric Josen (who would later become the villain "Goliath," and then the heroic "Atlas.")
Note that these laborers are described as "Indians," which was a common appellation for Native Americans in the time period that this story is set in. This entire issue is intended to have a "retro feel." The story, design, and artwork are reminiscent of comics published prior to the 1960s. These "Indians" are not people from India.
