Spearheading with the Third Armored Division
Forward
This booklet, along with its preceding volume, "Call Me Spearhead", is in no sense a complete history of the 3rd Armored Division. Rather, it is a brief narrative touching the high points of this organization's campaigning in Europe. For that reason, few individual soldiers are mentioned. For the purposes of identification, combat command and task force leaders names are used throughout.
Neither is there sufficient room in this booklet to pay proper homage to the integral units and attached battalions which have, by their actions, made the 3rd Armored "Spearhead" Division a famous American fighting force.
This copy of "Spearheading" is printed and distributed for the men of the command, the plain, everyday GI-Joes who met Jerry face to face, challenged him, and then beat him into complete defeat! It's written for the men who won the war in the west, and it is designed to tell partially the immense and wonderful story of how the job was done.
