I was going to post this when we got to it; to me it illustrates in a few pages how Devers’ command was looked at by Ike and SHAEF. And the fact that his history wasn’t published for almost 50 years says a lot too.
I have all of the combat histories for the ETO; they are very well written by top notch historians. Many of them I received hard bound from a friend in California who found them at a bookstore close out sale.
I’m jealous. :-)
