Kaltenhouse Remembered, Paperback

First published in the 1980s, 'Kaltenhouse Remembered' is a factual accounting of the U.S. Army's 42nd Rainbow Infantry Division's operations in France during January 1945, where the Americans repulsed the final German offensive of the war. Written by infantryman Norm Thompson, the book provides a unique perspective on the battles for Haguenau, Hatten, and Kaltenhouse that culminated with the American victory. The book also features an interview given by Thompson in 1995 that was not included in the original publication where Thompson describes in moving detail his part in the liberation of the Dachau-Allach concentration camps that occurred with the participation of the 42nd Infantry Division on April 29 and 30, 1945. This book is ideal for veterans, enthusiasts, and historians who will find this first-hand account of an astute observer a fascinating read that recounts one of the deadliest phases of WW II.
