Recovering rapidly from the shock of German counteroffensives in
the Ardennes and Alsace, Allied armies early in January 1945 began
an offensive that gradually spread all along the line from the
North Sea to Switzerland and continued until the German armies and
the German nation were prostrate in defeat. This volume tells the
story of that offensive, one which eventually involved more than
four and a half million troops, including ninety-one divisions,
sixty-one of which were American. The focus of the volume is on the
role of the American armies -First, Third, Seventh, Ninth, and, to
a lesser extent, Fifteenth- which comprised the largest and most
powerful military force the United States has ever put in the
field. The role of Allied armies -First Canadian, First French, and
Second British- is recounted in sufficient detail to put the role
of American armies in perspective, as is the story of tactical air
forces in support of the ground troops.
