The Map of the 5th Armored Division in Europe
At war's end, each of the men were provided a set of maps to chronicle the division's military might
and speed against the Germans. In all, there were three maps. The one listed on this page is titled,
"The Trek of the Fifth Armored" and provides an overview of their path from Swindon, England to the edge
of Berlin. The other two maps are, "Normandy to the Seine" and "Rhine River to the Elbe".
Click on any map to view a full size version of that map.
NOTE: These are very large maps with a lot of detail and requires about 10 minutes to download using
a dial up modem at 56K.
