Hi there

I´m looking for good and useful "free and downloadable" stuff about WW2 ground actions in Europe. Especially TM´s and FM´s or
after battle reports. I already know the MHI site. Great!!!
Something like that in english or german language.

Thanx for you help

Thanks for the information folks. Lots of good reading there. Hey Rockin, what is MHI?

Interesting sites, Drake. I think you win on volume, but I'll take comfort in the weight of material online at the CMH. :}

An aside, to the frantic bookmarkers; I've found Powermarks to be handy for bookmarking everything in sight, and finding it again later. It doesn't use the standard 'branching tree' method of filing bookmarks, but keeps everything in one list that can be easily filtered by keywords. You can check it out at http://www.kaylon.com/power.html
Not affiliated or anything, just thought someone might find it useful.

I think he means the War College's Military History Institute. http://carlisle-www.army.mil/usamhi/

Hello

thanx for your help so far.

Yes MHI, the digital library is a great source. Especially the "handbook of german military forces" (x3), i found most useful, although they are huge downloads, about 20-30 megs per chapter. (cause of pdf format)
Very interesting with weapons, doctrine and equipment of the german forces in ww2. Although the information is very basic.

I´m looking for similar stuff, from russian
and western allied side. (to download)
Maybe there´s coming more from the "front" ?

From 2:50 AM in germany...
