Armor in Normandy: The Americans
Alexandre Thers
Each mini-guide allows the reader to get to know more about a
region's history, linking historical events with places of interest
and sites of note, as well as providing an unprecedented visual
feast of photographs, uniforms, badges and equipment. Practical
information is included in each mini-guide and itineraries are
suggested for those wishing to visit battlefields, monuments,
memorials and museums.
In 1944 the US armored divisions were divided into two types,
heavy armor and light armor. They were formed into one of
three Combat Commands (CCA, CCB, and a reserve - CCR)
which comprised, in addition to the tanks, accompanying infantry
troops, motorized artillery, and engineers. This composition, with
its varying elements, gave the Americans a great deal of flexibility
in the way their armored forces were deployed and was at a
variance with the more conventional British doctrine.
Continuing the glorious tradition of cavalry raids of the past, these
units acted as the spearhead of the American forces, and played
a vital role in the liberation of Normandy.
All the principal weapon systems are shown here in detail and in
full color.
Soft Cover, 32 pages, b/w & color photos - maps.
