ACE-

Trying to research that little gem you recently landed on the e-stand?


I don't know of many printed references, so most of my research is done on the net:

Lexikon der Wehrmacht: http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/...liederungH.htm

Feldgrau www.feldgrau.com

Axis History website: http://forum.axishistory.com/index.p...d67e2eadf368a8

This site should also comes in handy http://www.soldbuchweb.com/

Sorry it's not much (and not books) but I hope this helps a little. IMHO - Posting here usually gets you the best and most accurate answers to your questions

This site is good for translating Military job descriptions: http://www.niehorster.orbat.com/011_...criptions.html

and abreviations: http://www.ihtp.cnrs.fr/prefets/abreviations.html

Wikipedia.com can come in handy from time to time, but don't take everything written there as gospel.

not a bad translation site http://www.freetranslation.com/

Emilie Caldwell Stewart's "Wehrpas" published 1994 (by the author), it gives a pafge by page comparison & explanation of the different patterns of wehrpas, listsof medical codes etc.
