For the few of you who may not be aware of it, this site features official histories and other documents from the WWII era. For an example, here is the USMC page: http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USMC/

Now, I already have dozens of secondary source material books in my personal library, but this site is an absolute wealth of info. Check it out.

I just love your habit of putting up great links like this during the evening. Just like the "Combat Cameramen: Shooting the War" link that kept me up past bedtime, this site is another late night project for me.

I am always looking for good internet sources about German forces in WW2, have any to share?

For the Germans in WWII, here's another good site: http://panzergrenadier.org/

For guys who are interested in battalion level OOBs in WWII, go here: http://www.bayonetstrength.150m.com/

As I'm a SPWaW player, these sites offer up much "nuts and bolts" info about lower-level organizations.
