Never saw this before. Take a look! U.S. Army Divisions in World War II, provides a graphic overview of the formation, expansion, and campaign history of all 91 divisions of the U.S. Army Ground Forces from 1939 to 1945. Every infantry, armored, airborne, mountain and cavalry division is represented. In addition to a high-level overview of the complete mobilization of the U.S. Army, detailed information for each division is mapped including: dates of activation, movement overseas, and entry into combat; commanding generals; casualty and days of combat figures; and more. Detailed maps of each theater show divisional campaign histories and provide a unique perspective of the size and flow of the entire war. This print provides you with all the information you need to understand the scope and flow of the U.S. Army during World War II. This print is dedicated to the men and women who have served and are serving with the U.S. Army. This print is printed on high-quality, fine art, acid-free archival paper. It was printed on a Heidelberg offset press. In addition to the four-color printing process, each print is sealed with aqueous-satin coating to provide further longevity. Below are snapshots of the print at the actual size. Notes: 1) that the print quality of colors and text sharpness are superior to the images below and 2) the colors of the print are slightly different than the colors in the images. Across the top is a complete overview of the entire U.S. Army divisional force mobilized for World War II. In one sweeping view, you can see information on all 91 divisions including: nickname, type, source, theater deployment, organization, and World War I service. At the left and below are snapshots of the middle section of the print. This section displays the chronology of each division during the war. For every division the following content is mapped: date of activation, date of deployment overseas, date of combat entry, the length of time training, and the length of time overseas before combat. All commanding generals for each division that served during the war are charted. Also, days of combat, the number of casualties and end-of-war status are provided. There is a detailed map for each theater of the war showing the campaign history of every division that fought in the theater. This provides both a high-level view of the entire theater plus an indepth view of the campaign chronology for each division. Below is a snapshot of the European Theater.

"Please note that I NEVER MAKE-UP statistics." I know this very well Marion and want it kep the same. What I

cant find on the internet is any casualty stats on the Airborne Divisions or Marine Divs. Possibly the A.B. Div

stats are in with the Infantry Div stats and dont show up. Marine stats are mixed in with the Navy stats.

I too had problems finding the overall stats for airborne, etc. I searched for a LONG time last night, and mostly came up with stats for individual units, but not the whole. Will keep looking.

If you find anything, please share with us too. That's a challenge for all members!
