Battle Yet Unsung the Fighting Men of the 14th Armored Division in World War II
While headline writers in the ETO were naturally focused on events in Normandy and the Bulge in the north, equally ferocious combats were taking place in southern France and Germany during 1944-45, which are now finally getting their due. The US 14th Armored Division--a late arrival to the theater--was thrust into intense combat almost the minute it arrived in Europe, as the Germans remained determined to defend their southern flank. Like other US formations, the 14th AD, after advancing through France against intermittent opposition, was hammered to a standstill at the Westwall in the fall of 19.

- ""The US 14th Armored Division was thrust into intense combat quickly after it arrived at the port of Marseilles, as the Germans remained determined to defend their southern flank. Like other American formations, the 14th Armored, after advancing through France against intermittent opposition, was hammered to a standstill as it approached the German border during the fall of 1944 ... Nevertheless, the 14th had gained experience, and when the Germans sought to turn the tide with Operation Northwind, they found a hardened formation standing against them. Northwind began in the Vosges Mountains, but was extended onto the plains of Alsace near the Rhine. This book explores in detail what happened in January 1945 when the Wehrmacht launched its last major offensive in the west. The 14th Armored engaged in point-blank combat as it held off the enemy, until finally a strategic withdrawal after a hellish ten days of fiery combat allowed the Allies to hold the line until a spring offensive"--Dust jkt."
