ALL THE WAY TO BERLIN(I***N=9780891417842) 英文原版 pdf mobi 下载 kindle 115盘 chm 阿里云 rb

　　In mid-1943 James Megellas, known as “Maggie” to his fellow

paratroopers, joined the 82d Airborne Division, his new “home” for

the duration. His first taste of combat was in the rugged mountains

outside Naples.

In October 1943, when most of the 82d departed Italy to prepare

for the D-Day invasion of France, Lt. Gen. Mark Clark, the Fifth

Army commander, requested that the division’s 504th Parachute

Infantry Regiment, Maggie’s outfit, stay behind for a daring new

operation that would outflank the Nazis’ stubborn defensive lines

and open the road to Rome. On 22 January 1944, Megellas and the

rest of the 504th landed across the beach at Anzio. Following

initial success, Fifth Army’s amphibious assault, Operation

Shingle, bogged down in the face of heavy German coun***ttacks

that threatened to drive the Allies into the Tyrrhenian Sea. Anzio

turned into a fiasco, one of the bloodiest Allied operati*** of the

war. Not until April were the remnants of the regiment withdrawn

and shipped to England to recover, re***anize, refit, and train for

their next mission.

In September, Megellas parachuted into Holland along with the

rest of the 82d Airborne as part of another star-crossed mission,

Field Marshal Montgomery’s vainglorious Operation Market Garden.

Months of hard combat in Holland were followed by the Battle of the

Bulge, and the long hard road across Germany to Berlin.

Megellas was the most decorated officer of the 82d Airborne

Division and saw more action during the war than most. Yet All the

Way to Berlin is more than just Maggie’s World War II memoir.

Throughout his narrative, he skillfully interweaves stories of the

other paratroopers of H Company, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment.

The result is a remarkable account of men at war.
