Gentlemen, Does anyone have any clue what Wa. stands for on a German Supply chart? The complete line is "Wa. 126 (B)" It also has a little black triangular flag, with two boxes. I am assuming this unit is a battalion, with two companies, but the "Wa." is stumping me. I am thinkin...

Gentlemen, I need a little assistance in translating some charts and information from the German NARA rolls in my possesion. If you are interested in taking on some small to medium size translations let me know. Right now, I have around 50+ pages of charts, Korps orders etc. etc. that need to be tra...

I do take terrain into account in my analysis. Terrain plays a huge part. How much did the terrain favor the defender during the siege of Sevestopol? The Russians got a big boost from the terrain during Sevastopol and on the Volkhov. Number of artillery pieces, amount of air support, armor if any (f...

Hello, I am trying to determine the relative effectiveness of German infantry divisions on the Eastern Front. So, I am looking for any instances where German infantry divisions were on the offensive without the support of Panzer or Mech/Motorized divisions. I can think of three offensives off the to...

Thanks so much for the link to your site. I quickly checked it out, and it looks very interesting. I will have to check it out more in depth later on. It is rather interesting that the Germans had a rather extensive codebreaking organizations, yet almost no one knows about them. Regards, Brian B.

Thanks for the link. Did not realize it was readily available on line. I would highly recommend anyone who is interested in German Cryptanalisis and Crytograhy to check it out, as it is loaded with primary source info all of the German agencies that were involved in coding messages and codebreaking....

Gentlemen, I found this book by accident as I was looking through the Barnes and Noble website. The name of it is "European Axis Signal Intelligence in World War II". It was published in October of 2010 from information that was only declassified in 2009 from the NSA and the Army Intellige...

That is exactly the information I was looking for. Todd, thank you very much for you suggestions, and my wife and I are really looking forward to vising Seattle and the Seattle area. Thanks again Todd!!

Well, it is nearly time for my yearly vacation. My wife and I are heading out to Seattle this year (in June), and I will want to visit as many of the book stores that sell WWII books as I can. Does anyone know of any decent bookstores in the Seattle area that sell WWII books? (I tried talking my wif...

Hello Gentlemen, I am currently trying to compile a rough OOB for most (in not all) of the collaborationist units raised by the Germans in the second world war. I have the following sources in my library: Forgotten Legions: Obscure Combat Formations Of The Waffen-SS Eastern Troops in Zeeland, the Ne...

Gentlemen, I am looking at making some of my own maps of the German units in the occupied countries in the summer of 1941. My question is, where do I find decent maps of the countries that were occupied by the Germans? I am looking for something part politcal map (shows some of the major cities) and...

Hi all,

I will be heading to the Washington D.C. area the last two weeks of June, and I am curious if there are any decent book stores that sell WWII books? I am not looking for the Barnes and Noble type stores. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Brian B.

Thanks Richard. That helps to give me a better idea of what these books comprise. Thanks again.

Gentlemen, I have a question that is slightly off-topic. I noticed above that you were talking about "Keilig's Das Deutsche Heer". What exactly are these books? Give me a general description of what "Das Deutsche Heer" pertains too. I know the title translates as The German Army,...

I just finished reading a soft covered "study" from David Glantz dealing with the German advance into the Caucasus. It's about 243 pages in length. "Combat Documents and Chronology on the Battle for the Caucasus, Volume 1: 31 July - 18 November 1942" Here is a link to a website t...
