RockinHarry Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Looking for a couple of WW2 period military field manuals possibly available in the net in E-book (PDF, HTML, Word, ect.) form. Already found US FM 100-5 (Operations, 1941) at CSI: http://www-cgsc.army.mil/carl/resources/csi/fm100_5_1941/fm100.asp From US looking for: FM 17-36 (Employment of Tanks with Infantry) FM 7-20 (Rifle Battalion) FM 6-20 (Field Artillery Tactics and Techniques) more that I don´t know of yet, related to USAGF in WW2. also of interest: FUSAG "Battle Experiences" series Army Ground Forces Observer Board, European Theater of Operations, Reports of the Army Ground Forces Board, European Theater of Operations. (I already have the "Lessons learned" series from MHI Digital Library) ____________________ Anything related to Soviet Army in WW2, preferably translated to english or german (although I could use a russian-english translation application if necessary) I already know the stuff from the excellent Red Army Studies website: http://www.redarmystudies.net/index.htm and some from http://www.battlefield.ru/ ____________________ Anything from WW2 Brits/CW I already have a PDF version of "Military Training Pamphlet No.41 - The tactical handling of the Armored Division and its components, part2 - the Armored regiment, 1943". ____________________ WW2 Germany: I already have a good collection of original FM and tactics manuals in paper form, but more is better! For an overview of what germany released prior and during WW2: http://www.superborg.de/ (german language website) Some interesting technical manuals is available for free at: http://www.panzermuseum.com/records/rec_manuals/rec_manuals.htm ___________________ Looking forward to anything that you could share:) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tar Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 You might try looking at some of the items at the US Army's Center for Military History: http://www.army.mil/cmh-pg/ They have the official history "Green Book", as well as a number of research topic papers about World War II. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bil Hardenberger Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 FM 6-20 and FM7-20 are here: Army_Heritage_Collection along with most US Army FM's from WW2, also on this site are pre-WW2 and post WW2 FM's. Check back periodically as they add to their collection. Go to the Military Publications section, then click browse, next select "browse ONLY Military Publications by historical time period", select your time period and have fun!
