Full Description
The third of a three-volume series detailing the uniforms, equipment, weapons and organisation of the US Army of World War 2, this title covers the forces deployed in the final climactic campaign in Europe. It takes them from the build-up in England to the Normandy beaches on D-Day: across France and the Low Countries to Hitler's last gamble in the snow-bound Ardennes, and deep into the Third Reich to the final victory
