Ever since I was a kid I read books about the campaign in France, the Low Countries and Germany from D-Day forward. I remember making a presentation in my 9th grade history class about the organization, structure and standard equipment of the U.S. Army in the Second World War. Mind you this was in 1974 and most of my peacenik classmates must of thought that I was nuts, of course back then I wasn’t I didn’t get the Mad Cow until much later. The cool thing about being a history major as an undergrad and then graduate student is that what is an annoying hobby to some spouses actually could get you a job someday. Now I don’t need a job but I do love to study and write about history especially Military History and maybe I will get the chance to teach at the college level someday. I did it once, maybe again.
So here are my Western European Campaign articles.
