The GIs who struggled ashore through the surf of Omaha and Utah
Beaches on 6 June 1944 were members of the best-equipped army ever
assembled up to that date. It was in the NW Europe campaign of June
1944-May 1945 of World War II that the US Army was finally able to
show its full potential for fluent mechanised warfare. This title
describes both combat and service uniforms worn in the ETO, from
the assault troops on the D-Day beaches to bemedalled veterans
celebrating VE-Day; other subjects covered include artillery,
tanks, anti-tank weapons, the engineers, the replacement system;
and the insignia of the divisions committed to this front.
