Descripción del artículo del vendedor

George Patton is renowned for his daring tank thrusts and rapid movement, but the many rivers and obstacles his Third Army encountered crossing Europe required engineers spearheading his advance. A Combat Engineer with Patton’s Army is the untold story of Frank Lembo, one of Patton’s men who helped move the American command in the battle of Argentan in the Normandy Campaign, in the high-speed pursuit of the German Wehrmacht east across France, and in the brutal fighting waged during the Battle of the Bulge and during the final combat along the borders of the collapsing Reich. Throughout his time in Europe, Lembo maintained a running commentary of his experiences with Betty Craig, his fiancé and future wife. This extensive correspondence provides a unique eyewitness view of the life and work of a combat engineer under wartime conditions. As a squad (and later platoon) leader, Frank and his comrades cleared mines, conducted reconnaissance missions behind enemy lines, built bridges, and performed other vital tasks to support the movement of the 317th, 318th, and 319th Infantry Regiments of the Blue Ridge Division—Patton’s workhorses, if not his glamour boys. A Combat Engineer with Patton’s Army describes the deadly river crossings at the Moselle, Seille, and Sauer, all conducted under enemy fire, and the frustrating pauses when supplies were diverted elsewhere. Lembo participated in the mid-December sprint to Luxembourg and the relief column that liberated Bastogne during the Bulge, the liberation of concentration camps once Third Army had charged into Germany, and their postwar occupation duty in Bavaria. Frank’s letters go beyond his direct combat experiences to include the camaraderie among the GIs, difficult living conditions, and the hijinks that helped keep the constant threat of death at bay. His letters also helped to fill Betty with hopeful dreams for their future together. Complete with dozens of previously unpublished photographs and original maps, A Combat Engineer with Patton’s Army offers the rare perspective of what day-to-day warfare at the ground-level looked like in the European Theater through the eyes of one of the men at the tip of the spear.…
