GI in action in North-west Europe 1944-1945. This book is a pictorial account of US Army GIs in the European Theater of Operations in Northwest Europe from D-Day to the end of the war in Germany in May 1945. The special focus of this book is on the infantry in its many forms: regular infantry, paratroopers, the armoured doughs of the armoured infantry battalions, and Rangers. The emphasis here is on photographs of Gis in combat to provide military enthusiasts including modelers, collectors, and re-enactors with a wide variety of clear crisp photographs showing the range of combat uniforms and equipment of US Army infantry during World War II. This book consists entirely of photographs taken by the US Army's Signal Corps during World War II. The author Steven Zaloga is an expert on US topics, he has collected these photographs from a variety of archives. Ronald Volstad, the world renowned artist for World War II figures, brings us 4 superb colour plates featuring the uniform, equipment and weapons of the GIs during the different phases of World War II. A must for collectors and modelers.
