Editorial Reviews
Midwest Book Review
In Normandy To The Bulge: An American Infantry Gi In Europe During World War II, Richard Courtney gives a day-by-day account of what he experienced in combat as part of the 104th Infantry Regiment of the 26th Infantry Division as it fought from Normandy to the Battle of the Bulge to the end of the war in Czechoslovakia. Using his diary, letters, newspaper accounts, and photographs, Courtney shares his own thoughts and those of his fellow soldiers as the horror of war descended on the snows of the Ardennes, where the antitank platoon dug in at a crossroads in Luxembourg. Crossing Germany he observed the German people in defeat. He was among the troops that liberated refugees and prisoners as they opened concentration camps. In May 1945, Private Courtney and two other soldiers accepted the surrender of the 11th Panzer Division on a dusty road at Ebenau, Czechoslovakia. Normandy To The Bulge is a memorable and unique, front-line soldier's contribution to World War II European theatre reading lists.
