W Wesley Johnston

814th Tank Destroyer Battalion W Wesley Johnston

One of the most historically useful decisions made during World War II was to create Information and Historical (I & H) units to conduct combat interviews of survivors shortly after actual events. The 110 or so combat interviews of the 7th Armored Division are preserved at the National Archives in Record Group 407 (Adjutant General). This book contains seven Battle of the Bulge combat interviews, the December 1944 After Action Report and the 17-31 December 1944 Morning Reports of 814th Tank Destroyer Battalion in action in the Battle of the Bulge. Wesley Johnston's search for his father's WWII experiences expanded to include all of 7th Armored Division. He is now the Historian for the 7th Armored Division Association and Founding President of the American WWII Association Historians Consortium.
