5.0 out of 5 stars Spearhead In the West........1941-1945, January 18, 2000

This review is from: Spearhead in the West: Third Armored Division, 1941-45 (Hardcover)

This is a history of the Third Armored Division's participation in the war against the forces of Nazi Germany in Europe. It is very good and contains all the ingredients, pictures, text, maps and tatical maps, to make it a must for military history buffs. It was originally published and issued, after the war ended, to all veterans. I can attest to it's accuracy. I am a veteran of the Division. I am seeking one of the original editions published in 1945.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Honorable Tribute to the Great Men of "Spearhead", June 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Legacy of the 4th Armored Division (Hardcover)

An outstanding publication summarizing much of what was published in the 1945 3rd Armored Division, "Spearhead in the West." See maps, personal photos from France, the Bulge, Cologne, all the way up to the present day memorials in Belgium. The 3rd Armored's role in Desert Storm is also summarized at the end of the book. I especially admire the "then and now" photos along with stories from WWII veterans who served proudly. This book salutes my grandfather and all of the brave men of the 3rd who helped bring down Nazi Germany. GREAT PUBLICATION!!
