This is a new DVD of the famous "Texas Army" - the 36th Infantry Division in WW II. The 36th is the Texas National Guard, which was called into federal service on November 25, 1940, for WW II service. After extensive training the 36th was first introduced into combat in the amphibious landing at Salerno, Italy, in 1943. The 36th would spend 400 days in combat, and would be awarded five battle stars for the campaigns of Naples-Foggia, Rome-Arno, Southern France, the Rhineland and Central Europe. The 36th would be awarded twelve (12) Presidential Unit Citations and fourteen (14) Congressional Medals of Honor. "Commando" Kelly was one of the Medal of Honor recipients. This DVD was made using maps, division histories, many signal corps photographs, material from old newspaper and magazine articles, military props, military music, statistics, casualties, decorations and awards, commanding generals, etc. as well as material from many other sources including German. Total running time is about two hours. The DVD is brand new and comes in an attractive plastic case with the division shoulder patch printed on the front of the case.
