CavScout Posted October 9, 2000 Share Posted October 9, 2000 Looking for some good sites with info on the 11th Panzer Divison, 198th Infantry Division and Nineteenth Army for the Germans. Going to create some scenerios circa 25thAug44 thru 30Aug44 in Southern France [Montelimar]. Have pretty good info on the American 36th and 3rd Infantry.

Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." --Benjamin Franklin, 1759 "For Americans war is almost all of the time a nuisance, and military skill is a luxury like Mah-Jongg. But when the issue is brought home to them, war becomes as important, for the necessary period, as business or sport. And it is hard to decide which is likely to be the more ominous for the Axis--an American decision that this is sport, or that it is business." --D. W.

Seems like the Southern landings have been over-looked, I hope to change that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chupacabra Posted October 10, 2000 Share Posted October 10, 2000 You should probably pick up some of the Michelin maps as well. The auto maps probably won't help much as I imagine the road network is substantially different now than it was in 1944 , but Michelin also makes excellent Ordnance Survey-type maps with topographical information. ------------------ Soy super bien, soy super super bien, soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super.

Keith Posted October 10, 2000 Share Posted October 10, 2000 CavScout, You need to get your hands on the U.S. Center of Military History "green book" called "Riviera to the Rhine", which covers the U.S. operations in southern France and Germany from Dragoon to the end of the war. There are some excellent chapters regarding the delaying tactics of 11th Panzer. I don't believe this book is online, although it is pretty cheap to order (although it takes a while to receive it from the government). Perhaps a local library has it?
