About the author
Organized in 1941, the 4th Armored Division of the United States Army became one of the standout American armored formations in the European Theater during World War II. It served under General George S. Patton’s Third Army and earned a reputation for speed, aggressive advances, and major roles in the breakout from Normandy, the drive across France, and the relief of Bastogne.
For What They Said About the Fourth Armored Division, the “author” is the division itself rather than a single person. Project Gutenberg and related catalog records list the work under 4th United States. Army. Armored Division, and the book was compiled from material issued by the division’s headquarters public-relations staff.
That makes this author entry a little unusual: it represents a historic Army division whose published voice came from official wartime editors and officers. For listeners, the result is less a personal memoir than a snapshot of how the division’s actions were presented and remembered during the war.
