ARTIFACT:
This is a copy of "778 AAA AW BN (SP): From Activation to Victory", a World War II unit history of the United States Army's 778th Anti-aircraft Artillery Automatic Weapons Battalion (Self-Propelled). Arriving in the European Theatre relatively late (December 1944), the 778th saw its first combat at Bastogne, Belgium, an engagement which became part the Battle of the Bulge. In addition to the battalion's history, this book includes an impressive list of honor recipients and a roster, and has some color illustrations as well as a very large color fold-out map of the 778th's route through Europe from Liverpool, England to Munich, Germany. This history was published at this final destination. The cover has seen better days but has a great watercolor battle scene.
