Consolidation of extracts from issues of "Battle Experiences" published in the European Theater of Operations from 1 July 1944 to 1 April 1945. This compilation is intended to present certain ideas and methods evolved during more than nine months of combat in more convenient form for reference and training use than was possible in the periodical form in which they were originally published. Although not necessarily applicable to all units in all situations, the items are the result of actual combat experiences of the units and individuals credited, and are recommended for careful consideration.
