jonhooper -> Research Material (1/22/2001 5:11:00 AM)
Although I've been gaming for years, its usually from the American perspective. Are there any good books out there on German small unit tactics, both armor and infantry? I've bookmarked many internet sites which I've gotten off of this forum, but you can never have too much reading material.

Wild Bill -> (1/22/2001 9:29:00 AM)
Some pretty good books on this theme would be: Anvil of War, Tsouras Fighting in Hell, Rauss-Tsouras Small Unit Actions during the German Campaign in Russia, CMH I've found these very helpful. Good scenario ideas, too!..WB ------------------ In Arduis Fidelis Wild Bill Wilder Coordinator, Scenario Design Matrix Games

Try http://www.skalman.nu/third-reich/ A book you might try is "Panzertaktik: German Small-Unit Armor Tactics" by Wolfgang Schneider. I have not read it but it is supposed to be very good. /Marcus [This message has been edited by Marcus Wendel (edited January 22, 2001).]

I stumbled arcoss this site the other day http://members.aol.com/super6th/ 6th Armoured Division WWII very interesting the personal account talks about tatical orginization and formations a little. I wonder, it might be possible to find other WWII histories and sites by searching on the unit.

Wild Bill -> (2/1/2001 5:12:00 AM)
Great stuff, guys. Thanks for sharing. And you are very welcome big Jon. I hope you can find those books. Some are out of print. Wild Bill ------------------ In Arduis Fidelis Wild Bill Wilder Coordinator, Scenario Design Matrix Games

Deserves a bump... goldmine of info!

Panzer Capta -> (3/1/2001 1:24:00 AM)
I find this to be a very useful document......"Handbook On German Military Forces" (Chapter on German Tactics). It can be found at: http://hpssimulations.com/support/customfiles.htm#Miscellaneous It is downloadable too.

Holunder -> (3/1/2001 6:38:00 PM)
Try Thomas L. Jentz "Panzertruppen" on german tanks. Developpment, tactics, experiences, numbers. It is the best I found. He worked for 25 years on that.

BruceAZ -> (3/2/2001 9:33:00 AM)

Major Ed -> (4/3/2001 10:17:00 PM)
You may want to look at www.schifferbooks.comthey mostly have books on specific weapons systems, but they do offer some on tactics. Several are by Thomas Jentz, who was mentioned in earlier posts.

I have seen plenty of good references to fine web sites, but when you want a source to getting books you can read in the john you need the Military Book Club (its part of Doubleday). No I aint soliciting for the club, I am a member and have been buying books through them for years. I aint saying they are cheap or even close to it. Military reference is a niche market, forget cheap right now. But they market books you wont be finding on any book shelves any time soon either. Most of my gems in my library I found through them. Quality hardcovers that were worth the serious funds too. Trick is to use yer opening purchases to get the expensive titles. Then resubscribe and do it again after buying 4 cheap options (effectively makes price more palatable). I have several examples of German unit actions that I have bought this way.
