I believe this book was published at Fort Belvoir, Virginia July 1946. the only printing info is located on the inside of the back cover. 8” x 10 1/2” soft cover, 57 pages w/ 8 fold out maps. These maps are are grouped; four are 23” x 18 1/2” tall. These show average river widths, main defense lines, topographic restrictions to cross-country movement, and soil trafficability of western Germany. It explains the engineering and logistics of moving the First, Ninth, and Third Armies across the Rhine and into Germany. Nicely broken down in the Table of Contents. Great history, maps and pictures of the U.S. Twelfth Army Group drive into Germany. Condition notes: The cover picture has ‘chipped loss of the picture, with greater loss at the binding. The cloth tape covering the binding is thin with frayed top and bottom. The binding is solid. The corners are slightly dog-earred. This book has been re-printed. This is the original first edition. This book is a great history of moving the 12th Army Group in the ETO. Scarce. Price: $115.00 (ref. A-198a)
