Franz: Besatzungstruppe U.S. Army 1945-1955 "From Enemy to Ally" - Tankograd American Special 3028
From enemy to ally - Almost exactly ten years after World War Two, a period when American and German forces had been fierce enemies, West Germany joined the U.S.-led NATO as an ally of the Cold War in May 1955. This publication describes the U.S. occupation forces in Germany, their organisation and vehicles, from 1945 to 1955 focussing not only on wartime material that soldiered on into the post-war era but also on then highly modern new weapon systems often fielded with U.S. units in Germany for the very first time.
This work closes a vital gap in Tankograd’s coverage of the pre-REFORGER-era.
