Are there any good books out there about the 2nd Army and its formations during the time period mentioned above. I can find tons of stuff here in the states about our forces during that period and I can even find a lot of stuff on the Germans, but I've yet to find anything beyond say accounts of Market-Garden. Like is there a good account on say the Guards Armoured Division? The Third Infantry Division? The Irish Guards Group? I'm working on my Guards Armoured Squadron for Flames of War and I need some inspiration, so help me out here! Thanks guys! |

I'm surprised that nobody has answered this yet… The "Battleground Europe" series of paperbacks contain some excellent volumes which should serve your needs. They include a very detailed description of each battle, with a lot of atmospheric (and sometimes inevitably depressing) personal accounts from both sides. Examples from the Normandy campaign: link link link I guess the "Goodwood" book would be more relevant to the Guards Armoured Division, but they are so inexpensive that I would advise getting all 3.

Eagles & Bulldogs in Normandy 1944 by Michael Reynolds covers the US 29th and British 3rd Infantry Divisions in Normandy through the first 6 weeks. Highly recommended. |
