The Story of 46 Division 1939 - 1945 - Paperback

by Anon (Author)

The 46th Infantry Division was an infantry division of the British Army raised in 1939 that saw distinguished service during the Second World War, fighting in the Battle of France and the Battle of Dunkirk where it was evacuated, and later in North Africa, Italy and Greece. This is a very good history written and published in occupied Austria just after the events described.
Although not one of the D-Day Divisions, like many other formations it was fundamental to the success of the broad plans for the direction of the war. The fighting in North Africa and Italy is detailed. Good photos, coloured maps (based on the official sheets), rolls of commands, staff, awards, and an Order of Battle complete this very good contemporary Infantry Divisional that is scarce in its original 1948 printing.
