US ARMY WAR DEPARTMENT. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE DIVISION

[Internesto]

Pongo a vuestra disposición, unos documentos que el US ARMY confeccionó durante la guerra, tratando diversos temas.

Creo que tienen un alto valor histórico. Hasta los años 80 eran considerados "restringidos", pero finalmente fueron desclasificados. Son digitalizaciones de los documentos originales.

Hay varias perlas que no tienen desperdicio, como la serie "SPECIAL SERIES", donde desmenuzan la Wehrmacht casi al completo.

Para los que dominan más internet, aquí está el enlace (entrad en military publications) http://www.ahco.army.mil:8080/site/index.jsp

Este el indice de la SPECIAL SERIES ( hasta el no. 18 )

Special Series deals with subjects requiring comprehensive,
monographic treatment. The primary consideration in selecting
topics has been to disseminate information of immediate applicability.
based on the best available sources. In addition to much
hitherto unpublished material, information previously disseminated
in brief or tentative forms in MID periodicals and bulletins
is combined with new material on the same subject when exhaustive
treatment of that subject is necessary. All issues are classified
