Merriam Press World War 2 History Series This story begins in November 1941 and recounts B Company's march through French Morocco, Tunisia, Sicily, Italy, and Southern France. From there, it traces the company's advance over the Vosges Mountains, through the Colmar Pocket and across Germany to Austria. For many of the B Company veterans, the battles left lasting impressions on their memories. They spoke vividly of Casablanca, Licata, Mt. Rotundo and Bloody Anzio, where they held the beachhead for four brutal months. They related with pride the operations in the Colmar Pocket, the smash through the vaunted Siegfried Line and the capture of Salzburg in May 1945, which led to the ultimate surrender of the German Third Reich. B Company was comprised of men from a multitude of backgrounds. They were farmers, grocery clerks, mechanics, high school, and college graduates. They hailed from different geographical regions throughout the United States. Most of them were between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five. They were either drafted, or enlisted on their own. Not all of them wanted to be there, but they accepted it as part of their duty. The men from B Company didn't see themselves as heroes; they went to war because it was the patriotic thing to do. Deservedly so, the starring role in this story is played by Audie Murphy. However, the major focus of the book is on the spirit of B Company. It is the author's hope to reveal the true thoughts, words, and souls of these brave men so that the reader will identify with them in a personal way. This is the story of the B Company foot soldiers-a moving and vivid account told primarily by the characters themselves, through their own eyes and their own experiences. This book is the culmination of a three-year study on B Company. In his pursuit to arrive as near as possible to the truth, the author has thoroughly examined both secondary and primary sources, including: war memoirs, letters, journals, diaries, witness statements, and interviews with B Company veterans. He's also included several illustrations from his extensive collection of maps and photographs, many of which were personally shot on location. Contents Foreword by Dr. Keith E.

On July 11, 1943, General Lucian Truscott received the Army's second-highest decoration, the Distinguished Service Cross, for valor in action in Sicily. During his career he also received the Army Distinguished Service Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster, the Navy Distinguished Service Medal, the Legion of Merit, and the Purple Heart. Truscott was one of the most significant of all U.S. Army generals in World War II, pioneering new combat training methods—including the famous “Truscott Trot”— and excelling as a combat commander, turning the Third Infantry Division into one of the finest divisions in the U.S. Army. He was instrumental in winning many of the most important battles of the war, participating in the invasions of North Africa, Sicily, Anzio, and southern France. Truscott was not only respected by his peers and “dogfaces”—common soldiers—alike but also ranked by President Eisenhower as second only to Patton, whose command he took over on October 8, 1945, and led until April 1946. Yet no definitive history of his life has been compiled. Wilson Heefner corrects that with the first authoritative biography of this distinguished American military leader. Heefner has undertaken impressive research in primary sources—as well as interviews with family members and former associates—to shed new light on this overlooked hero. He presents Truscott as a soldier who was shaped by his upbringing, civilian and military education, family life, friendships, and evolving experiences as a commander both in and out of combat. Heefner’s brisk narrative explores Truscott’s career through his three decades in the Army and defines his roles in key operations. It also examines Truscott’s postwar role as military governor of Bavaria, particularly in improving living conditions for Jewish displaced persons, removing Nazis from civil government, and assisting in the trials of German war criminals. And it offers the first comprehensive examination of his subsequent career in the Central Intelligence Agency, where he served as senior CIA representative in West Germany during the early days of the Cold War, and later as CIA Director Allen Dulles’s deputy director for coordination in Washington. Dogface Soldier is a portrait of a man who earned a reputation for being honest, forthright, fearless, and aggressive, both as a military officer and in his personal life—a man who, at the dedication ceremony for the Anzio-Nettuno American cemetery in 1945, turned away from the crowd and to the thousands of crosses stretching before him to address those buried there. Heefner has written a definitive biography of a great soldier and patriot.

Als der Zweite Weltkrieg in Europa zu Ende war, hatte die laut Register ca. 15.000 Mann zählende 9th US Infantry Division 33.864 Verluste erlitten. Mehr als 90% dieser Verluste verteilten sich dabei auf weniger als 3000 Soldaten im Register der Division, ihre Infantry Riflemen. Dogface Soldiers fokussiert auf die Geschichte dieser gemeinen Gewehrschützen der US Infanterie im Kontext verschiedener Wechselwirkungen zwischen Krieg und US-amerikanischer Kultur im Weber'schen Sinn, wie der spezifischen Geschichte des amerikanischen Wegs in den Zweiten Weltkrieg. Als Methode adaptiert Marco Büchl das anthropologische Konzept der Dichten Beschreibung, um entlang von 13 zeitgenössischen Cartoons eine Signifikanzorientierte, narrativ-interpretative Kulturgeschichte der Dogface Soldiers zu entwickeln.

"The 79th Infantry Division of the United States Army landed in Normandy, France, starting on June 12, 1944, and first engaged in combat on June 19. By Victory Day, the 79th Infantry had completed 248 days of combat and was known as one of the best attack divisions in the U.S. Army. Dogface shares the story of an 18-year-old infantryman, Robert J. McDonnell, who fought in the 79th throughout its entire WWII service. It begins with a glimpse of his childhood, growing up in Saginaw, Michigan with eleven siblings in the wake of the Great Depression, when combat was limited to battling over a piece of bread to eat. Dogface then chronicles McDonnell's experience as a soldier, from being drafted and leaving home for basic training, to front line combat and life in a foxhole, to Victory Day in Europe, and ultimately his return home"--p. [4] of cover.
