In World War II, the U.S. Army not only supplied its soldiers with
the most modern equipment and uniforms, suitable for any combat
situation, but went as far as providing them with their favourite
drinks or candy bars. A comprehensive reference book bringing
together all the equipment issued to American soldiers in the
European Theater of Operations, 1943–45. Each item is presented
with its catalog numbers, described in detail and fully depicted in
photographs. Graphics and diagrams offer additional information and
context. There are chapters on everything from uniform, insignia,
and small arms issued to the individual, through crew-served
weapons, rations, tents, to sports and recreation equipment. There
is full coverage of the specialist items issued to Airborne,
Armored, and Mountain troops, engineers, signallers, Military
Police, medics, chaplains and female personnel. From the chewing
gum included in K rations through to artillery-laying equipment,
mess trays to portable altars and field harmoniums, this
photographic reference gives a unique insight into the world of the
U.S. Army in World War II. As a complete catalogue with
high-quality photographs, this book is invaluable to both family
historians researching grandpa's kit found in the attic and to
assist collectors in their quest to find authentic items among the
reproductions that flood the modern market.
