US Army in World War II
Notes, Sources and Links
by Rich Anderson
Notes
This sketch of the United States Army in World War II began as an appendix that
I wrote for Hitler's Last Gamble. Since the publication of that book I have
gathered more information and this is the result. In a sense this essay remains
a work in progress. Eventually I hope to expand it to include more data
weapons, equipment, and individual units, as well as links to other sources for
further information.
Sources
Balkoski, Joseph. Beyond the Beachhead. Harrisburg, PA: Stackpole Books,
1989. This book is an excellent analysis of an American Infantry Division in
combat versus the Germans.
Dupuy, Trevor N., David Bongard, and Richard C. Anderson, Jr. Hitler's Last
Gamble. New York, NY: Harper Collins, 1994. Not really the book that I
originally envisaged, but still a good general reference on the battle.
The Dupuy Institute Reference Files. These are a collection of nearly
forty years worth of research materiel dealing largely with World War II (and
military history in general). Included are copies of archival records of the
U.S., U.K., German, and Russian armies, as well as memos and letters, many from
veterans, dealing with various research projects of the Institute and its
predecessors.
Stanton, Shelby. Order of Battle U.S. Army in World War II. Novato, CA:
Presidio Press, 1984. An indispensable and unfortunately out of print book, I
have relied shamelessly on Mr. Stanton's excellent scholarship and knowledge of
the creation of the wartime U.S. Army.
Weigley, Russell F. Eisenhower's Lieutenants. Bloomington, IN: Indiana
University Press, 1981. A somewhat flawed analysis, but it remains one of the
better single-volume histories of the European Theater of Operations.
Stanton, Shelby, Order of Battle U.S. Army in World War II.
Indispensable and unfortunately out of print.
