Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the present volume, which was first published in 1945, Harold Templeman, an American Red Cross Field Director who was assigned to the 503rd Paratroopers on their victory march from Australia to the Philippines, has compiled a thrilling story on the recapture of that Rock ribbed Fortress, “Corregidor.” “On Corregidor his work was particularly outstanding. He landed with the first Paratroopers on the “Top Side”—recovered his bundles under enemy fire, and by noon of the opening day had hot coffee for those who could visit his “Comfort Station.” Throughout this operation, Mr. Templeman rendered continuous service to the troops of the force with special attention to the patients in the emergency hospitals established there. In so doing he did much to increase the comfort of the men, which served as a tremendous morale factor.”—Col. George M. Jones, Commanding Officer

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1948, this WWII division history has long been out-of-print. It remains today the definitive WWII history of the "Buckeye Division." The 37th Infantry Division, drawn from Ohio and West Virginia, entered United States service as a National Guard unit in August of 1917, and participated in major campaigns during The Great War in Europe. In 1940, the unit was placed again into Federal service. The 37th served in the Pacific Theater from 1942 until 1945. It was active both in support and combat roles in battles and deployments in Fiji, Guadalcanal, the Philippines, and Bougainville. As a WWII unit, the 37th was deactivated at the end of 1945, but continued service in the Ohio National Guard and later in various other units until it was disbanded in 1968. In 2007, the remnants of the division were reassembled into the 37th Infantry Division Combat Team, and it adopted once again the infamous WWI & WWII shoulder insignia.

This book was released on 2019-01-13 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 3 February 1941, the First Maryland Infantry Regiment, Maryland Army National Guard, was inducted into federal service as the 115th Infantry Regiment and sent to join the 29th Infantry Division. They arrived in England on 11 October 1942, and then were attached to the 1st Infantry Division in preparation for the D-Day invasion. They moved with the 1st Infantry Division from 2 June 1944, and remained with 1st Infantry Division until 7 June 1944, when they returned to the 29th Infantry Division for further operations. Their participation in the Normandy Campaign continued until it was over on 24 July 1944. They immediately moved into the Northern France Campaign on 25 July 1944, which continued until it was over on 14 September 1944. During this period the 115th Infantry Regiment was engaged in one of the war's forgotten chapters, "The Battle of Brest". The Battle for Brest was one of the fiercest battles fought during Operation Cobra, the Allied breakout of Normandy which began on 27 July 1944, during the Battle of Normandy during World War II. The 115th Infantry then started participation in the Rhineland Campaign on 15 September 1944, whereupon the 115th Infantry crossed from France to Belgium and the Netherlands both on 27 September 1944, and entered Germany on 30 September 1944.
Download or read book The Nazi 88 Made Believers written by Henry P. Abbott and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major Harry Abbott wrote this book of his experiences as the military chaplain of Combat Command B of the 13th Armored Regiment of the 1st Armored Division during the North African campaign soon after returning Stateside. He and his fellow chaplains made ceaseless efforts to care for the spiritual and physical needs of the men in their charge. He was frequently called upon to tend to the sick and wounded, he attested to the tremendous courage displayed by the GIs of his unit as they grappled with the veteran Afrika Korps in North Africa. As alluded to in the title many of his charges faced their religious decisions differently under the fired of the deadly German 88 anti-tank gun; he assiduously noted that “there are no atheists in foxholes.” Also in charge of the burial parties sent to ensure the proper respect for the fallen, he describes this lesser known part of the US military effort. Illustrated throughout with his own photographs.
Download or read book Bastogne written by S. L. A. Marshall and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-08-18 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Center of Military History is pleased to present the second volume in the U.S. Army in Action series, a facsimile reprint of Brigadier General S.L.A. Marshall's Bastogne: The First Eight Days. Originally published in 1946, this brief study provides a combat history of a critical battle during the Allied liberation of Europe in World War II. Outnumbered and surrounded for five days, a U.S. Army combined arms force of airborne infantry, armor, engineers, tank destroyers, and artillery conducted a successful defense of the Belgian crossroads town of Bastogne in late December 1944. They separated the German combined arms formations and destroyed the pieces, halting the offensive. The outcome of this battle was critical to the successful Allied defense against the German Ardennes offensive. Bastogne offers unique insights, capturing the immediate impressions of the soldiers who fought in this harsh winter engagement. The author penetrates the "fog of war" with a coherent narrative that clearly captures the strategy, tactics, and leadership of the battle. This action strangled the German logistical flow to their forward assault divisions, disrupting their offensive tempo and slowing their advance. What emerges is a vivid case study of how decisive leadership and incidents of individual heroism can contribute to overcoming enemy forces and weather.
Download or read book History of the 508th Parachute Infantry written by William G. Lord II and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment was an airborne infantry regiment of the United States Army, first formed in October 1942 during World War II at Camp Blanding, Florida by Lieutenant-Colonel Roy E. Lindquist, who would remain its commander throughout the war. The 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment participated in Operation Overlord, jumping into Normandy at 2:15 a.m. on 6 June 1944, and was awarded the Distinguished Unit Citation for its gallantry and combat action during the first three days of fighting. The Regiment also saw active service in Operation Market Garden in the Netherlands, jumping on 17 September 1944, and continued fighting the Germans in the longest-running battle on German soil ever fought by the U.S. Army, before crossing the border into Belgium. They played a major part in the Battle of the Bulge in late December 1944, during which they screened the withdrawal of some 20,000 troops from St. Vith, defended their positions against the German Panzer divisions, and participated in the assault led by the 2nd Ranger Battalion to capture (successfully) Hill 400. U.S. D-Day paratrooper William G. Lord II’s History of the 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, which was originally published in 1948, provides an extensive and fascinating chronicle for the period from October 20, 1942 to January 1, 1946, and will appeal to discerning World War II historians and scholars alike. Richly illustrated throughout with photographs and maps, this volume also includes in its appendix a list of combat awards, unit citations, and battle casualties.
