Please include Archie Armbruster, 540th Combat Engineer, in your thoughts and prayers.

Archie's health has been getting progressively worse, and his wife had to make the very difficult decision to place him in a nursing home. He has several problems which are compounding, and Loretta knew he needed more care than she could provide at home.

Some articles from the Falmouth Enterprise from 1942 - 45, concerning the Amphibian Training Center at Camp Edwards and activites on Cape Cod at the begining of the war.

Falmouth Enterprise

I must admit that I haven't read much on the US forces but I did read "Tank Killers: A History of America's World War II Tank Destroyer Force" by Harry Yeide when it came out a few years ago and I found it to be a very good book on the topic.

Hello all,

You might find the Axis History Factbook at http://www.axishistory.com interesting, it contains information on most aspects of the Axis nations of the Second World War and related topics.

btw. Don't forget to visit the Axis History Forum at http://forum.axishistory.com , it is an apolitical forum for discussions on the Axis nations, as well as the First and Second World Wars in general.
