The complete Nafziger collection

https://www.alternatewars.com/CARL/Nafgizer_CARL.htm

[randowe]

The complete Nafziger collection

https://www.alternatewars.com/CARL/Nafgizer_CARL.htm

Added for ALL NATIONS, second table

[randowe]

Added the following links:

russian maps 1917 - 1941 (russian language only)
This site is in russian language aonly but it is possible to navigate by year and date. Maybe people who speak russian can find some other useful informations on that site? I don't know.

World War Weapons, Diary, Armies, History, Pictures
This site gives an general overview about various topics related to both world wars. But more on WWII though.

Norway 1940
This is a web archive mirror of one of the best (if not the best) site about the norwegian army in 1940. The original site is down now, but the web archive mirror works as well, as far as i have tested.

France 1940
This site offers the complete OOB for the French Army in 1940. It even shows the OOB of the overseas units, like the units in Indochina. There are other useful informations about the French Army as well.
But unfortunately most of the other links for other nations are broken. I still consider this a useful site because of the informations about the french army.

Austria-Hungary's Last War, 1914-1918 (book)
A book about Austria-Hungary in WWI. Urica posted this link in the Alpenkorps thread at JP's and i think it can be useful. It also offer some great maps.

Kaisercross
Offer information about: "World War 1 and the Colonial Wars in the period leading up to World War 2" Posted by Jurgen in the same Alpenkorp thread at JP's.

EDIT: WW2 Areal photos and maps, this site is down at the moment, but the ftp server is still up and i am downloading in this moment.

[randowe]

Added a link about the military of Argentina which i think can be very useful. At least it was useful for me There are also lots of photos too.

[randowe]

Added the following links to the second table:

- Swedish Military History
- Swedish Aviation
- Cuban Aviation
- Trucks of the World
- World War 2 in Yugoslavia (site is very slow, but offers some good informations)

Revised the following link:

- Imperial Japanese Army

[randowe]

Added the following links to the second table:

- WWII Ballistics Calculator - choose gun and target and the calculator will create a chart with informations of target penetration/destruction (probability). You can also follow a link to the main page which offers some informations about British equipment.

- Military History Encyclopedia - website with a truckload of articles, pictures, maps, etc...

- Generals of WW2 - short biographical sketches about 28000 generals of WW2

[randowe]

- German abbreviations: long and detailed list of german (WW2 military) abbreviations.

EDIT, i forgot:

[randowe]

Dunno if someone cares , but i just checked some sites and found out that: WW2 Areal photos and maps (FTP Server) website is down. But the blog is still up and i changed the link in the first table accordingly. Although it seems you have to contact j c calvin for login data now if you are a new user. The FTP server is still working, i downloaded Poland '39 situation maps few days ago.

[Golothin]

Best site for Soviet OOBs I know. In Russian, but with Chrome ect. no problem.

I also added a link to a site about German Schnellboote, MTB, captured MTB, Fast Attack Craft, etc. from 1916 - today.

[randowe]

While i was looking for the Latin Generals website i checked old links and some of the PG2 sites shared some useful links too. Some links are dead after all the years, some are already part of our link collection and 4 links added to the second table today:

- The official history of New Zealand in WW2
- French tanks and armored cars 1915 - 2008
- Armed Conflict Events Data (WW2 day by day chronology)
- British Artillery in WW2

[randowe]

Added to the second table:

Danisch military vehicles 1909 - today - the website looks simple but provides excellent infomation about all? vehicles in Danish military service.
Danish Army on April 9th, 1940 - A PDF about the danish army and fighting on the day of the german invasion.
Swiss military vehicles, guns - A good site about vehicles in Swiss Army service as well as artillery and AD guns.

(Maybe i should put the second table into alphabetical order since the table becomes larger, but the table looks so complicated itself (see it when klick on quote the first post) that i am not sure if i want to do it )

[randowe]

I added the homesite of the Luftwaffe website to the second table, as mentioned in the other thread.

I also added a website about "Abandoned & Little-Known Airfields in the USA". That site was very useful when i desigend the Brunswick (Savannah) map recently.
