When The Odds Were Even;

 The Vosges Mountains Campaign, 

October 1944-January 1945 by Bonn, Keith E.

breach the enemy's Vosges Mountains--in Northern France--defenses,

 which were occupied by some of the Nazis' finest combat units. He compares 

the training and doctrine of the U.S. and German armies, the strengths and 

weaknesses of the commanders on both sides, and provides a lively narrative 

of the campaign itself in When the Odds Were Even. 320 pp. 28 photos.

A Combat Infantryman in World War II  by Otis A. Cannon

An up front view of actual combat, it It is the few in number of a rifle company that do the 

actual fighting. What it feel like to face the enemy twenty four hours a day, like facing a firing squad. 

Go thru three phases physical and mental strain. Scared out of your wits, hatred of the enemy 

when your close comrades get killed, wishing you would actually get a wound that would send you 

back to get some rest It behooves the new replacement to learn the tricks of the trade in staying alive. 

Like there are the Quick and the Dead. He's out to kill you and your had better get him first
