This book, entitled "Texas to Teisnach", was published late in 1945 by A. Humblot of Nancy, France. The 457th was scheduled to land at Omaha Beach on D-Day, but because of tactical delayed, they instead waited at anchor. The machine guns they used against enemy aircraft later I the day proved to be their first action within European borders.
