These photos come primarily from the main collection of World War II U.S. armored units in the Mediterranean theater of operations in Italy. However, the armored operations of Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery’s neighboring British-Canadian 21st Army Group are outside the scope of this book. Although the majority of the photos cover American armored vehicles, an extensive selection of photos of German vehicles is also included to help provide a more complete image of the fighting. The aim of this book is to provide an in-depth visual record of armored combat through the eyes of the U.S. The two volumes are split chronologically between 19.
