With the Belgian White Army – The Belgian Forces of the Interior–the dreaded Armee Blanche-had terrorized the Germans for years. Now, the men who had never accepted surrender, the hard core of the Belgian Army, simply took up where they had left off in 1940, and went to work with the American troops –driving the Germans eastward.

Armored Patrol – When Uncle Sam took off on his big push across Brittany, American armored might played one of the starring roles in the history-making drive. Our tankmen saw the fall of Perrier, Coutance, Avranches, Rennes, Vannes. Although many GIs and machines were lost in the blitz campaign of wholesale liberation waged against stiffening Nazi resistance, the re-conquest went on. YANK artist Cpl. Jack Coggins rode with a recon unit of the Fourth Armored Division on the last lap of the race to Lorient. These are his impressions of the unit’s pioneer job probing German strength and resources of the naval port amid the enemy’s barrage of shot and shell.
