Guest Pillar Posted November 8, 2000 Share Posted November 8, 2000 I'm looking for Soviet Field Manuals. If anyone can help me find them, or provide a link, please let me know. Thanks very much. - Pillar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Duquette Posted November 8, 2000 Share Posted November 8, 2000 The Nafzigar Collection has reprinted at least one WWII Soviet field manual "Soviet Armoured Tactics in WWII". In addition they have reprinted "Soviet Tactical Doctrine in WWII (actually a reprint of portions of the US ARMY TM-30-340 Handbook on the Soviet Army in WWII). Both are around $20.00. http://home.fuse.net/nafziger/books.html You might enquire at the Russian Military Zone as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapdragon Posted November 8, 2000 Share Posted November 8, 2000 Pillar, If you can read Russian I may have a friend who can bring some back for you from Russian, depending on his luggage space. Nothing modern, mostly older stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pillar Posted November 8, 2000 Share Posted November 8, 2000 I can't read Russian unfortunately. I'm also interested in their modern Field Manuals. Something along the lines of a Russian 7-8 would be great reading. Thanks for the references so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This won't help you, but it might help someone else with the same problem. The library of Finnish military academy has a whole shelf-full of Soviet field manuals. Some were translated from captured Russian documents while others were originally printed for Finnish-speaking population of East Karelia in 1930's. - Tommi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of it is in Russian though. You pay whatever costs are associated (not much if it is just a few manuals I am sure) and I will see what we can do. No guarantees of course, but possible. He has brought back neat stuff for me in the past (nothing modern like I said.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
