I was at a wargaming convention in 1987....I ran across a book published by the US Government in 1945. The title of the book as far as I can remember was "German Order of Battle 1944" Admittedly my menory is a little hazy, but it was the complete OOB of the entire German army in 1944. (2500+ pages)

Unfortunately, I didnt have the 100 dollars the vendor wanted for it. I saw it again a couple of years later...and still didnt have the money. I havent seen it since.
