This is a set of four Steve Kaliher and Harry D. White pictorial World War II route maps of the 79th Infantry's advance from Normandy to Germany. Presented on four separate sheets, a detailed summary of the division's progress across northern Europe from Utah Beach (one of the four Normandy beaches assaulted by Allied troops only eight days on what has become known as D-Day) to Mulheim, Germany. Each map traces a sequence of a few months in the combat history of the 79th with red lines labeled with dates marking the advance week by week and sometimes day to day. Text blocks narrate parts of the advance, providing insight into what the division accomplished during their over 300 days of combat. Cities and towns are identified throughout all four maps, as are rivers. Each map is framed by the names of cities and towns that the division passed through on their advance, fought for, and liberated, adding yet another level of memory to each piece. (more details)

A rarity in an underappreciated genre, this is the 1944/45 Marion E. Baker World War II Second Armored Division Pictorial Route Map of Europe. Two elements stand out from most World War II (1939 - 1945) route maps. One is the scope of the Second Armored Division campaign, including North Africa, Sicily, and Western Europe. The second is that, unlike most route maps, the present map was published during the war, making it a part of the war experience, instead of a post-war summary. (more details)

Drafted by Robert G. Buchan, this is an all-business history of the 5th Armored Division’s drive across Europe. Red lines mark the division’s progress, sometimes day-to-day, naming towns and cities visited. Information about the division’s movements, such as their claim to have been the first American division in Germany, as well as the first division to breach the Siegfried Line, are in red. Dates when the division was pulled off the line and when they crossed the Rhine River are also given. Exhibiting an impressive dedication to detail, the route is sometimes divided between the ‘CCA’ (Combat Command A), ‘CCB’ (Combat Command B) and ‘CCR’ (Combat Command Reserve or Headquarters). Comparable in size to brigades or regiments, combat commands were newly established within the 4th, 5th, and 6th Armored Divisions in 1943. The 2nd and 3rd Armored Divisions maintained their original organization until the end of the war. (more details)
