The story of the United States' involvement in the Second World War initially took shape through the pens and lenses of war correspondents and the home front press and the typewriters of government public relations officers. Journalists like Ernie Pyle, Homer Bigart and GI cartoonist Bill Mauldin aspired to transmit the true essence of the war, while the media's lesser lights and the PR men presented a sanitized record draped in patriotic bravado. 1 In the immediate post-war period, the branches of the Armed Forces issued official histories that dealt primarily with battle maneuvers and administrative matters.2 As the surviving luminaries among the Western Allies retired from the military and/or public life in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, they composed (with the assistance of ghostwriters in some cases) and published their memoirs, followed shortly thereafter by their subordinates.

FOR THE RUTGERS ORAL HISTORY ARCHIVES WORLD WAR II * KOREAN WAR * VIETNAM WAR * COLD WAR INTERVIEW CONDUCTED BY KATHRYN H. TRACY SYRACUSE, NEW YORK JANUARY 13, 2001 TRANSCRIPT BY KATHRYN H. TRACY Kathryn Tracy: This begins an interview on January 13, 2001 in Syracuse, New York with Charles Sedgwick Tracy, Sr. I want to begin by talking about the family history. Let us talk about your paternal side, first. Charles Sedgwick Tracy, Sr.: My father was born in 1873, son of Colonel Osgood V. Tracy, who was in the 122nd New York Volunteer Regiment during the Civil War. … His brother, Will Tracy, had also joined up in that same regiment, and they fought all during the Civil War. … My Uncle Will, who had gotten commissioned through the influence of a very strong mother, decided that he didn't deserve the commission and resigned. He went out to Indiana and entered as a private in an Indiana regiment, where he first was in battle. He later ended up on the staff of General [Henry Warner] Slocum of the VI Corps. At the Battle of Chancellorsville, he was taking a message to one of the division commanders, and in that wilderness of woods and thickets, he got lost. … He found that all of a sudden, on his horse, that he had wandered into what appeared to be a Confederate battery. He realized that he had a very important message to deliver, and the Confederates didn't recognize him at once, because he was all covered with dust.

  • “Getting Rid of the Line:” Toward an American Infantry Way of Battle, 1918-1945
    “GETTING RID OF THE LINE:” TOWARD AN AMERICAN INFANTRY WAY OF BATTLE, 1918-1945 ________________________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board ________________________________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Earl J. Catagnus, Jr. May, 2017 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Gregory J.W. Urwin, Advisory Chair, Department of History Dr. Jay Lockenour, Department of History Dr. Beth Bailey, Department of History Dr. Timothy K Nenninger, National Archives and Records Administration ii © Copyright 2017 By _Earl J. Catagnus, Jr._ All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the development of America’s infantry forces between 1918-1945. While doing so, it challenges and complicates the traditional narrative that highlights the fierceness of the rivalry between the U.S. Army and Marine Corps. During the First World War, both commissioned and enlisted Marines attended U.S. Army schools and served within Army combat formations, which brought the two closer together than ever before. Both services became bonded by a common warfighting paradigm, or way of battle, that centered upon the infantry as the dominant combat arm. All other arms and services were subordinated to the needs and requirements of the infantry. Intelligent initiative, fire and maneuver by the smallest units, penetrating hostile defenses while bypassing strong points, and aggressive, not reckless, leadership were all salient characteristics of that shared infantry way of battle. After World War I, Army and Marine officers constructed similar intellectual proposals concerning the ways to fight the next war. Although there were differences in organizational culture, the two were more alike in their respective values systems than historians have realized.

  • US Prepares More Paratroops for Battle – 1944
    Video Transcript for Archival Research Catalog (ARC) Identifier 39021 US Prepares More Paratroops for Battle – 1944 Text: U.S. PREPARES MORE PARATROOPS FOR BATTLE Narrator: More and more paratroops, the infantrymen who drop from the skies and fight on land. With Allied successes on all fronts, the training of paratroops continues with increasing intensity. These men are all volunteers and the Army is now accepting men from every branch of the service who can pass the rigid mental and physical test to become paratroopers. There is no outfit quite like the paratroops, the daredevils who ride down on silk. Paratroopers were the first to land in Normandy. There, they proved their worth beyond question. Paratroops will continue to play a leading part in the Allied global fight to victory. Text: GENERAL De GAULLE DECORATES FIFTH ARMY COMMANDER Narrator: Soldiers of the Allied 5th Army in Italy at attention, awaiting the arrival of the distinguished French leader, General Charles De Gaulle.

  • OPERATION GALVANIC the Assault on Codename “Helen” 20Th Nov 1943 Scenario Written by Andy Parkes & Martin Small
    OPERATION GALVANIC The assault on codename “Helen” 20th Nov 1943 Scenario written by Andy Parkes & Martin Small Overall Situation:- USMC 2nd Marine Div Maj Gen Julian Smith GENERAL – Gilbert islands The Gilbert Islands consist of 16 scattered atolls lying along the equator in the Central Pacific. Tarawa Atoll is 2,085 miles southwest of Pearl Harbour and 540 miles southeast of Kwajalein in the Marshalls. Betio is the principal island in the atoll. The Japanese seized Tarawa and Makin from the British within the first three days after Pearl Harbour. Carlson's brief raid in August 1942 caused the Japanese to realize their vulnerability in the Gilberts. Shortly after the raid, the 6th Yokosuka Special Naval Landing Force arrived in the islands. With them came Rear Admiral Tomanari Saichiro, a superb engineer, who directed the construction of sophisticated defensive positions on Betio. Saichiro's primary goal was to make Betio so formidable that an American assault would be stalled at the water's edge, allowing time for the other elements of the Yogaki ("Waylaying Attack") Plan to destroy the landing force. The Yogaki Plan was the Japanese strategy to defend eastern Micronesia from an Allied invasion. Japanese commanders agreed to counterattack with bombers, submarines, and the main battle fleet. Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Fleet/Commander in Chief, Pacific Ocean Areas (CinCPac/CinCPOA), took these capabilities seriously. Nimitz directed Spruance to "get the hell in and get the hell out!" Spruance in turn warned his subordinates to seize the target islands in the Gilberts "with lightning speed." This sense of urgency had a major influence on the Tarawa campaign.
