It's the 30th Infantry Division not the 13th!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This is an interesting book which deals with the trials and tribulations of all soldiers as well as civilians. It deals primarily with the war in Western Europe from September 1944 through December 1944. Among some errors mentioned in another review, there is one glaring error which stands out to me anyway. Specifically, Turner refers to a U.S.Army Division as the "Thirteenth" ( on page 274 ) but there was no Thirteenth division...it was the 30th Infantry Division known as Old Hickory. Turner correctly identifies the 117th Infantry Regiment of the 30th ID however. I did enjoy this book and found that the civilian stories added an interesting dimension to the overall content.
