19452442Bad Wildungen Germany: Tac Echelon HQ 12th Army Group 1945. First Edition. Single Sheet Paper. Very Good Plus/4-mil clear mylar envelope. This is an ORIGINAL folded MAP showing the travels of the "Tac Echelon" Headquarters 12th Army Group in WWII through England France Luxenbourg Belgium and Germany from 15 July 1944 through 9 May 1945. On the verso of the map is the description of the "VICTORY IN EUROPE" Dinner Dance presented in honor of General Omar N. Bradley by the Officers of Tac Echelon Headquarters 12th Army Group at the Hotel Furstenhof in Bad Wildungen Germany on 12 May 1945; i.e. 4 days after the Surrender of Germany. The document is SIGNED in ink by General Omar Bradley "O N Bradley". The map measures 11 1/2" x 20" opened and 6 3/4" x 5 1/2" folded.<br /> <br /> One of the MOST REMARKABLE MAPS of WW2 the map was hand-drawn by an artist who signs his name RWD in the print. The document was produced by "Engr. Repro. Det. 12 A Gp." The map shows the various locations of the Headquarters 12th Army Group during its progress in combat in WWII from the "Staging Area" in England to Bad Wildungen Germany. Beverages are described for most of the locations ending in "V-E Specials" for Germany. We believe this map was distributed at the dinner dance celebrating the "Victory in Europe" just 4 days after the War in Europe ended and was signed by General Bradley at the dinner. The 12th Army Group was the largest military formation of the United States in the history of the Country. The 12th Army Group was deactivated shortly afterward on July 12 1945 upon General Bradley’s departure to become Director of the Veterans Administration. <br /> <br /> NOTE: This map will be accompanied by a CERTIFICATE OF PROVENANCE dated and signed by Debbie Chapman Luckinbill certifying that the map was brought home as a souvenir by her aunt the late Helen Chapman who was a member of Red Cross Clubmobile Group C which served in Europe during WW2. Red Cross Clubmobiles were large food trucks which were driven by Red Cross women to troop assembly areas where the women would open up the sides and serve doughnuts coffee and snacks to the fighting men. <br /> <br /> We have not found this map anywhere on the internet or other research. The map is foldedrubbed and lightly soiled from handling but is Very Good or better and now in a 4mil clear mylar protective envelope. Tac Echelon, HQ 12th Army Group unknown
1945214301945. WWII era Women's Army Corps photo archive documenting servicewomen including two African Americansand four partially identified individuals. Creation of the WAC in 1942 marked the first permanent institutional incorporation of women into the U.S. Army placing female personnel into administrative communications intelligence and logistical roles across both domestic bases and overseas commands. One photograph identified on the verso as "Gynnie Polly Corsica '45" provides additional documentation of Black women serving overseas in segregated Army units during the final year of the war.<br /> <br /> Archive of 18 silver gelatin photographs from W.W.II. Photographs measure approximately 3 x 2 inches to 6 x 3.5 inches. The images depict American servicewomen in a range of wartime contexts including official uniform portraits informal snapshots and scenes taken in European cities damaged by combat. Several photographs show women wearing standard WAC dress uniforms with garrison caps and enlisted insignia while others depict personnel wearing British style battledress associated with American administrative units stationed in Europe. One photograph shows three uniformed personnel two women and one man standing at attention before a formal government building likely in Britain. Another image places a uniformed American servicewoman before the gilded equestrian statue of Joan of Arc in Paris a landmark associated with Allied presence in liberated France. Additional photographs depict ruined urban landscapes with bombed churches and collapsed structures suggesting scenes from Germany or France shortly after liberation. A photograph inscribed "Chattanooga Tenn." shows a woman standing in civilian clothing at the entrance of a home indicating a stateside context connected to the servicewoman's life before or after deployment. Another photograph labeled "Ann & Lillie Mother" shows two women standing outside a residence likely relatives of one of the servicewomen. <br /> <br /> Women's military service expanded rapidly during World War II as the War Department created organizations such as the Women's Army Corps and the Navy's WAVES to address labor shortages across the armed forces. Overseas deployments placed WAC personnel in newly liberated European cities and military headquarters throughout the Allied command structure. Light toning minor edge wear and occasional handling marks. Overall very good condition. Although African American women served within segregated units their participation in overseas assignments including Mediterranean theater postings marked a significant shift from earlier military policy which had typically limited Black women's service to domestic assignments within segregated support units. unknown
1945229161945. WWII Lt. Colonel Henry L. Hively U.S. Army Air Forces correspondence and war archive 1945 comprising medals letters documents photographs negatives and ephemera including Panama Canal Zone tourist booklet wartime train-journey photo strips through France namely Grenoble and Valence aerial transport photographs and extensive emotional correspondence from Oakland and San Francisco at the end of World War II. Archive includes 4 letters 5 envelopes two foreign currency bills a Panama tour guide a donation certificate six medals and ribbons and over 30 very small photographs. This substantial personal archive documents the long U.S. Army career of Lt. Colonel Henry L. Hively 1915-2010 beginning with his formative early-career service tied to the U.S. Army's border militarization and expeditionary presence in Mexico during the opening decades of the twentieth century when American forces pursued Pancho Villa and asserted federal authority along the U.S.-Mexico border. That experience-rooted in mobile warfare logistics and hemispheric military infrastructure-prefigures the global operational networks that would later define American power during World War II. Hively's career thus bridges early twentieth-century expeditionary service in Mexico with his later World War II service across the European and Pacific theaters and the immediate postwar demobilization period.<br /> The archive is anchored by an extraordinary run of intimate 1945 letters from Hively's girlfriend Mrs. Dorothy "Dottie" Rishel a civilian hospital worker at Green's Eye Hospital in San Francisco and later Oakland. Her correspondence chronicles daily life wartime anxiety women's labor Bay Area domestic arrangements and-most critically-the immediate civilian reaction to the atomic bomb and the end of the war. On August 10 1945 Rishel wrote: "I'm so confused over the state of affairs regarding the war and probable termination of it I don't know what to say. Without reservation Hank what's your personal opinion of this atomic bomb Its destructive power absolutely floors me." Only one day later as news of Japan's surrender became imminent she added "Allow me to say 'Happy V-J Day to you.' The war will absolutely be over tomorrow so the radio says. Golly I'm so thrilled I can't even concentrate on anything." These letters provide rare real-time reactions from a young working woman confronting the moral and emotional consequences of nuclear warfare.<br /> <br /> Materially the archive includes Hively's medals-among them a boxed Army of Occupation Medal ribbon bars and a boxed U.S. Air Medal-alongside his wartime photographic portrait labeled "Henry L. Hively 2nd Lt. Sig C." The photographic material consists of mostly very small vernacular silver-gelatin prints about 1' x 1" in rows of about 5 with a few larger images and a few negatives. several stamped on the verso "March 1945" showing Hively with other U.S. soldiers during the final months of the war including soldiers disembarking from U.S. Army aircraft traveling by rail through Europe gathering around Army jeeps and socializing outdoors. One image records a street-level view of a building in Grenoble France situating the archive geographically within southeastern France during the Allied occupation period. Additional prints show European landscapes rivers military encampments and aircraft on runways. Also present is the USO pamphlet Panama in Your Pocket: What to Do Where to Go While on the Isthmus reflecting the Pacific transit network anchored by the Canal Zone alongside foreign currency from France and England and photographic negatives documenting off-duty military life. A later handwritten note identifying "Ret Lt. Col. Henry L. Hively 1915-2010 - 94 yrs old" aligns with his published obituary confirming his long military career and postwar administrative service. The correspondence between Hively and Rishel forms the emotional core of the archive documenting female wartime labor emotional resilience and the uncertainty of demobilization. Rishel's account-"The work here in the hospital is absolutely fascinating. this hospital has been doing an awful lot of experimental work on cornea transplantation"-captures women's medical labor during WWII while her September 21 1945 letter reflects anxiety surrounding separation and discharge: "they have decided to send all eligible officers to their separation centers sometime in the next two months." Together these materials articulate the psychological and social transition from global war to fragile peace. Letters well preserved and legible with expected toning and folds; envelopes present with postmarks and Army Postal Service stamps. Photographs and negatives crisp some very good and a few over exposed. Medals well kept in original boxes with ribbons and devices. Overall very good condition. unknown
1917190211917. WWINational GuardWWII Primary-source archive documenting U.S. Army transportation command operations supporting Allied logistics following the Normandy landings centered on the development of Cherbourg as a critical supply hub. Assembled from the career of Lieutenant Colonel George C. Sullivan the collection spans World War I mobilization through World War II and into postwar reserve service with particular emphasis on mid-twentieth-century military infrastructure and coordination. The archive comprises hundreds of pages of official documents correspondence and service records alongside a substantial photographic component including large-format panoramic rolls depicting assembled training formations and unit organization at scale. Together the materials provide detailed evidence of the administrative and logistical systems that sustained Allied operations in Europe situating individual service within broader frameworks of wartime transportation supply distribution and postwar military restructuring.<br /> <br /> Archive comprises hundreds of pages of military documents dated primarily from the 1940s through the 1950s; three panoramic photographic rolls from World War I service; one photograph album containing 83 photographs from 1917-1918; four loose photographs; and three letters dated 1945-1948. The World War I album depicts training at Fort Sill Oklahoma mounted artillery drills including a three-inch field gun mounted cavalry movement across desert terrain doughboy uniformed infantry and a Peace Parade in Lawton Oklahoma in November 1918. Sullivan's own written service summary records his federal call-up transfers promotion to corporal commissioning and discharge in December 1918. The panoramic rolls measuring approximately 44 to 56 inches in length show large assembled formations at Camp Cody New Mexico and officer training at Camp Taylor Kentucky including the 25th Battery Central Officers Training School. World War II and postwar materials include commendations transfer requests rosters promotion records certificates and administrative correspondence. A 1949 silver gelatin photograph of Headquarters Company 371st Support Group summer training personnel includes a roster naming forty-eight officers among them First Lieutenant Catherine M. Henry documenting the integration of women officers in postwar reserve structures.<br /> <br /> Sullivan's World War II documentation centers on transportation command responsibilities essential to sustaining Allied operations in Normandy and the rapid development of Cherbourg as a logistical hub following D-Day. The archive traces the evolution of the United States Army from early twentieth-century National Guard mobilization to logistics work in World War II. Postwar papers reflect Sullivan's continued reserve duty into the mid-1950s and his civilian engagement in the sale of military surplus goods in Seattle Washington illustrating the reintegration of career officers into postwar commercial life. Documents generally clean and legible with occasional edge wear; panoramic photographs show some cracking but remain intact; photograph album well preserved; loose photographs with light handling wear. Overall very good condition. Extensive archive chronicling four decades of a United States Army officer's career. unknown
