What was an 'A Card' in World War 2?

Answer = = I am not familiar with the "A Card" but wonder if it is the same thing as an "A Sticker". This was a method for rationing gasoline and was a sticker put on the windshield of a car. Possibly, an A card was further identification used when purchasing gasoline. If I remember right, an A card, or sticker, entitled the owner to 4 gallons of gasoline per week. Other disignations were available for other users considered essential to the war effort.


What caused the Armored Personnel Carriers to catch fire?

The M113 APC/ACAV (Armored Personnel Carrier/Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicle) was 100 per cent constructed of aluminum (which has a lower melting point than solid steel), and the M113's were PACKED with ammunition. Primarily with M60 machingun(7.62mm/.308 caliber) and .50 machingun ammo. The total floors were often carpeted with those ammo cans. Sometimes, they were packed with so much ammo that the torsion bars would break after running off road for awhile. During invasions (Cambodia and Laos, etc.) M72 laws and claymores were piled inside to supplement the small arms ammo. Sometimes Bangalore torpedoes were added to the supply. Then add about 100 gallons of diesel fuel. Add all those up; and it's time to "un-a--" the vehicle once it's hit! (Dismount quickly and let it burn).


What was important about the battle of Aachen?

Aachen was the first German city reached by the American Army, in the early autumn of 1944. The Germans put up an extremely tough fight the city. Since breaking out from the Normandy beachhead about two months earlier, the American Army and the Allies had enjoyed a very happy time. Most of the German defenders in France had been drawn to the beachhead to encircle the Allies, and when they cracked through this crust and broke out, there was nothing to stop them from going pretty much where they pleased. The only limiting factor was the Allied supply situation. The Allies still did not have a major port and all supplies were still having to come in over the invasion beaches. It takes several hundred thousand gallons of gasoline per day for a single armored division to move. The farther the Allies moved from the beaches, the farther these supplies had to be forwarded, by truck. The trucks consumed a lot of gasoline themselves and were soon wearing out from constant use. Nevertheless as the Allies chased the Germans across France and quickly liberated Paris, they were telling one another that the war would be over by Christmas, 1944. Then when the Allies reached Aachen and saw just how hard the regrouped German army was disposed to fight for actual German territory, they began to have to reconsider just how soon the Germans could be defeated.
