		The Third Infantry Division in WWII fought in Sicily, Italy at Cassino, Anzio, in Southern France, and in Germany and Central Europe.
		Their original symbol for the division was a yellow swastika on a red background, but Adolf Hitler’s adoption of that revered Native American symbol forced the change to the thunderbird design that is in the picture.
		He was largely responsible for the cooperation between the British, American, and other forces and for the integration of land, sea, and air forces in the great battle for the European continent.

		British pressure for larger and larger allotments increased this desire for coordination at the same time that it developed within the War Department itself both an irritation with the British and a conflict of judgments as to what really should be the primary objective of American production-to save Britain or to arm America.
		So far as British needs were concerned this was one of the numerous supervisory functions entrusted to the Army "observer" in London soon after the ABC meeting of January-March 1941 led to assignment of Maj. Gen.

	NAVAL UNITS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		One PHIB Unit can land one Marine Division on an enemy shore, and also can bring along one division of other troops (up to and including Mechanized and Armor Divisions) as reinforcements, but these reinforcements can only be landed if the Marines secure a beachhead.
		The advantage is that they can choose where to land, and that the small size of their invasion beachhead limits the number of defending units that can oppose them.
		The second turn, whoever has the most total number of land units in the battle is the attacker (either trying to expand the beachhead, or push it into the sea) and whomever has the smaller number of units must defend.

		For most of the time his supply lines across the Mediterranean were at the mercy of British submarines and bombing aircraft, and he was so short of tanks (and fuel) that at one stage he pinned cardboard models of tanks around Volkswagen cars, giving British aerial observers the idea that they were real tanks.
		In the British Army, the ratio was one to three; in the American, one to nine, as the GIs were thought to be uniquely dependent on refrigerators and the like, and their supply lines became clogged with extra baggage.
