Product Description
by Djv Murphy (Author)
In reading "World War II The 103d Cactus Division Story" the reader becomes embedded with the U.S. troops as they wage battle after battle with the Nazi's. After the war ended, Newspaper reporters and members of the 103d, Ralph Mueller and Jerry Turk produced a book "Report After Action The Story of the 103d Infantry Division." A copy of the book sat in the Innsbruck Library Stadtb cherei Innsbruck] for years following the war.When conducting research for the book "Bunker Treasures" the author happened into the Library to see if there were maps of the area showing abandoned rail road tracks from World War II. The director of the Library was called, and, and in hearing the request she asked me to wait and disappeared back into the inner sanctum of the building. When she came back, she was holding a only a frayed copy of a book with the insignia of a green cactus on blue ground and a yellow sky on the cover. The book you are about to read is based on that frayed copy. It is dedicated to the brave souls who fought with honor and determination through the challenging final stages of World War II and to those who gave their lives on the long road fighting the Nazi's from Marseilles to Innsbruck. djv murphy
