Trade paperback. Etat : Very good. 50th Anniversary Commemorative Edition. x, 80 pages plus fold-out maps. Maps. Sketches. Photographs. Annexes. CMH 100-6. When originally published this was one of a series of fourteen studies of World War II operations originally published by the War Department's Historical Division. Those volumes, prepared by professional historians shortly after the events described, provide a concise summary of some of the major campaigns and battles fought by American soldiers. The skillful combination of combat interviews with primary sources, many of which are now lost, gives these narratives a special importance to military historians. The II Corps was a corps-sized formation of the United States Army. It was the first American formation of any size to see combat in North Africa or Europe during World War II. In November 1942, II Corps landed in Oran as part of the Allied invasion of French North Africa. After initially making good headway against German forces during the Tunisia Campaign, II Corps was decisively defeated in February 1943 during the Battle of Kasserine Pass by troops under Rommel. In March 1943, after a change of command to Major General George Patton, II Corps recovered its cohesion and fought well for the rest of the Tunisia Campaign, winning the Battle of El Guettar. II Corps held the southern flank of the British First Army during the destruction of the remaining Axis forces in North Africa. The war in North Africa ended in May 1943 with almost 250,000 Axis soldiers surrendering, to become prisoners of war. II Corps was inactivated in Austria on 10 October 1945, following Germany's surrender.

" The II Corps was a corps-sized formation of the United States Army that was active in both World War I and World War II. It was originally formed and fought on the Western Front during World War I and was also the first American formation of any size to see combat in North Africa or Europe during World War II. Six months after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the American entry into World War II, II Corps was sent to England in June 1942, under the command of Major General Mark W. Clark. In November, now under Major General Lloyd Fredendall, II Corps landed in Oran as part of Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of French North Africa. After initially making good headway against German forces during the Tunisia Campaign, II Corps was defeated by German troops under Hans-Jürgen von Arnim at the Battle of Sidi Bou Zid. II Corps was again decisively defeated in February 1943 during the Battle of Kasserine Pass by veteran troops under Generalfeldmarschall Erwin Rommel. The defeats were compounded by American inexperience, poor senior leadership, and lack of armor comparable to that in the German panzer forces, as well as the highly effective German high-velocity 88 mm anti-tank guns, which were used in screening tactics to destroy American tanks lured into pursuit of German armored forces In March 1943, after a change of command to Major General George Patton, II Corps recovered its cohesion and fought well for the rest of the Tunisia Campaign, winning the Battle of El Guettar. II Corps held the southern flank of the British First Army during the destruction of the remaining Axis forces in North Africa. The war in North Africa ended in May 1943 with almost 250,000 Axis soldiers surrendering, to become prisoners of war. On 10 July 1943, II Corps, commanded now by Major General Omar Bradley, took part in the amphibious invasion of Sicily (codenamed Operation Husky) under command of the U.S. Seventh Army. It played a key part in the liberation of the western part of the island. The corps consisted of the 1st Infantry Division (United States), 3rd, 9th, and 45th Infantry Divisions. The Allied campaign in Sicily came to an end after 38 days. Now under Major General Geoffrey Keyes, II Corps was sent to the Italian Front, arriving in mid-November as part of the U.S. Fifth Army, where it was to serve for the rest of the conflict, participating in grueling mountain warfare and often experienced fighting in terrible weather conditions. Soon after arrival, II Corps took the 3rd and 36th Infantry Divisions under command. In late January 1944 II Corps, now with the 1st Armored Division under command, took part in the Battle of Rapido River, part of the first Battle of Monte Cassino, to distract German attention away from the Anzio landings. The operation failed with heavy losses in the 36th Division. During the fourth and final battle of Cassino in May, II Corps consisted of the 85th and 88th Infantry Divisions. For the assault of the German Gothic Line, II Corps consisted of the 34th, 88th and 91st Infantry Divisions. The corps moved up the western side of Italy, and fought in the Spring 1945 offensive in Italy, where it ended up on the right flank of the Fifth Army in May 1945. II Corps was inactivated in Austria on 10 October 1945, following Germany's surrender. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. First edition. Quarto. 13 [1] ff., typescript or carbon copy on onion skin, printed rectos only. Bound into clothbacked card covers by threaded plastic lugs (lacking one, possibly two), with a photographic frontispiece laid down on cover. A bit of wear on the spine and the upper holes of the first couple of leaves, else just about fine. The photographic frontispiece shows a graph the German Air Force's operational strength, beginning at Stalingrad, in the form of an airplane's trajectory, which plummets in 1945. According to the first page, this document contains information on reasons for the decline of the German Air Force "obtained from a German Air Force Colonel, captured 1 January 1945. Received in Britain 15 March 1945. Note: At the time of his capture this prisoner was in command of a Fighter Wing. He has written what follows below in the hope that it may ultimately help to assure that responsibility for disasters which have overtaken the G.A.F. and for the catastrophe thus brought on Germany herself, may rest where it properly belongs." A purported history of German WWII air combat, and an analysis of the German Air Force's failings, by a captured Colonel, who claims to have been both a *Gruppenkommandeur* and *Geschwaderkommodor*. He seems to believe that, as the enemy's tactics and technology changed, a lack of far-sighted planning (changes sometimes taking six months to be implemented), did the G.A.F. in. The plot thickens. According to a penciled note on the final leaf, signed "FJU[A?]", "The above is actually a recorded 'cut-in' taken at CSDIC (UK) early 1945 from 'M' room." "M" (for "miked") room was the location of an intelligence operation that secretly recorded the conversations of over 10,000 German PoWs. CSDIC stands for "Combined Services Detailed Interrogation Centre." The U.K. CSDIC, CSDIC(I)-Z Section, was located at 49 St. George's Drive, Pimlico, London. While we can't validate FJU's claim, this doesn't seem to be a publication made as propaganda for a wide audience. The account closes thusly: "For A. C. of S., G-2," which we understand to mean "the head of intelligence for the Army Chief of Staff." And below: "/s/P.E. Peabody," (Paul E. Peabody) who is identified as a Brigadier General and Chief of the Military Intelligence Service. We surmise it was published for internal use. A purported first-hand account of the failings of the German Air Force, by a captured Nazi Colonel, apparently recorded in one of the major Allied intelligence operations of World War II. Rare. *OCLC* locates two copies, both in U.S. military libraries.
