TD Battalion Histories and Attachments


Recommended Posts

I've added histories for the TD battalions that served in North Africa, Italy, and the ETO to my website. There is also a list of attachments, but that is incomplete. TD battalions were parceled out in such small chunks and moved around so often that I started to tear my hair out and finally just gave up.

It was a big war, wasn't it? Even after 50 years of reading about it, I still continue to stumble across things I never heard of before. Practically every day, in fact.

Harry,

Impressive site! I bookmarked it, skimmed some of the photos (had never seen a concrete bowed Sherman before) from your books (would love to simply order them all, but can't at present) and watched several of the videos. Drusenheim sounded pretty exciting. I say sounded because despite the all but incessant firing, it's hard to see much in the way of results, what with the relatively low image resolution and the long camera view. Clearly, the gunfire exceeded the dynamic range of the microphones the film crew had available at the time. Even so, I found the pucker factor high.

Regards,

John Kettler

From what I've read so far, it seems like a worthwhile (not the same as perfect) book.
