The author has included a narrative of the organization of the 1 st Armored Division, its organization for combat and a brief description of the two day conflict. There are more than just photos of the battle damage. Although the photos consist of destroyed US tanks and tank destroyers, no dead bodies appear in any of the pictures.
They are drawn from a collection taken by German Propaganda Companies, their equivalent of US Army Combat Camera Teams. The photos were taken while many of the subjects were still burning on the battlefield. The publication, published in A4 soft cover format, is primarily a photographic collection of pictures captured from the German archives.
This publication covers the results of these first encounters. On 14 & 15 February 1943 elements of the US 1 st Armored Division was severely handled in a serious of engagements by elements of the Fifth Panzer Armee and of Rommel’s Panzer Armee Africa.
