Where was the M1 Garand used in world war 2?
It was used in every theater of the war. It was used in every theater of the war in which the US Army and Marines became involved in late 1942 and after, but the M1903 continued to be issued until 1944 because there were never enough M1 Garands to go around. The war began in 1939, and there were places where US troops never fought and the M1 Garand was not used. (Poland, Egypt, Libya, Ethiopia, Somalia, Russia.....and Denmark which was liberated by the British who did not use the M1 Garand). US troops defending the Philippines in '42 did not have the M1, but the US troops who recaptured the Philippines in '45 had them. It must be remembered that WW2 began on Sep 1, '39. Japan declared war on the US on Dec 7, '41, with Germany and Italy declaring war on the US on Dec 11, '41. The M1 Garand had been in service with US paratroopers since 1936, but it was not produced in great numbers until after the US entered the war.
