SigUp -> OT: German Documents in Russia (2/26/2016 1:54:54 PM)
|
Perhaps some here have already encountered that website before, but since I found it just recently and thought others may be interested:
http://wwii.germandocsinrussia.org/de/nodes/1-bestand-500
That website is the site of a project to digitalise captured German documents store in Russia today. It contains a lot of documents, not only about the Wehrmacht, but also documents of the security apparatus or World War I documents.
Some examples:
Study by Erich Marcks on an offensive operation against the Soviet Union
OOB of the Heer 1944-45
Documents of the Ia of Army Group Centre regarding orders for Operation Typhoon
Maps by Fremde Heere Ost with Soviet offensive possibilities
(Interesting here, the last map prior to Bagration. FHO was sure that the major offensive would come out of the Ukrainian balcony towards Lublin and then possibly breaking north towards Warsaw/Bialystok into the rear of Army Group Centre and North)
Combat strength of the German field Army July 1944 - May 1945
Army Group Centre losses from 22nd June to 15th November 1941
(About that last link, some divisions really suffered hideous losses. SS Reich for example until 15th November reported 7.269 casualties, 1.666 dead, 5.438 wounded, 165 missing. Total losses for the army group totaled 316.569 men)
If somebody tries to look for something, here's the Index with search engine. Obviously all documents are in German, sometimes with Russian annotations.
