 | Patton's Third Army by Christopher J. Anderson
General George Patton was one of the most successful generals of World War II and arguably one of America`s greatest commanders. His army marched further and more quickly than any other Allied army during the 1944-45 campaign in Europe, and its contribution to the Allied victory was enormous. More than 100 photographs in this volume show what uniforms the American G.I.s who served under Patton wore, what weapons they had, and what equipment they carried, from their landing in France to the German surrender.
