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:

Some interesting technical manuals is available for free at:

RH, try this link: http://carlisle-www.army.mil/Welcome.asp

This is the Carlisle Barracks website for the US Army War College. Click on the Search & Reference link, then on the Army Heritage Collection Online link. Click the Digital Documents tab at the top; now click on Browse. Now, select the Browse ALL digital Documents by historical time period link, then the World War II (1939-1945) link. Finally, click the Military Publications >Field Manuals link. The FMs are organized in numerical order, with double-digit FMs listed after the single-digit ones of the same number (i.e. FM 5 series, then FM 55 series, then FM 6). You should be able to find a large number of US Army FMs from the period; they are in PDF form, although each one is the same file name somehow when you d'load them.

Thanks Kevin!

Thought the stuff from that site was rather post WW2. Got to check out again.
