Maybe the organizational history of the German Army, 1935 to 1945? I'm just guessing because that's the title, I don't have it.... Anybody here have this?

It is if you can find one!

There are many mistake however as OCR (Optical Character Recognition) was used and some letters etc. have not been recognised and you can not find some units that you are looking for.....

An example is:

SS-Korps-Nachrichten-Abteilung U2 aus DivisionNachrichten-Abteilung 310 (Heer)

The U2 should be 112!

[Larry deZeng]

Hmmm........ What is the difference between this compilation and the published editions of Tessin? Or of Lexikon der Wehrmacht, for that matter? Where did this thing come from? I have never heard of it and I try hard to stay on top of all reference works relating to the Wehrmacht.

Type SS-Korps-Nachrichten-Abteilung in the search fild and make sure, that "Teilkettensuche" is marked. The mistakes came from the scan. (OCR Textbridge software)

Again, can anyone who has this compilation answer my question? Fronti?

Orginisationsgeschichte der deutschen Wehrmacht 1935-45 is a electronic copy on CD of the Tessin.

Best regards, Fronti

[Ian Jewison]

Larry,

The CD emerged in around 2001 I beleive.......it was produced by VMD (Verlag Media Data) but they went into receivership over who had the copyright over a certain book!

They produced the following at least:

Orginisationsgeschichte der deutschen Wehrmacht 1935-45
VMD (Verlag Media Data) GmBH

Feldpostübersicht der Deutschen Wehrmacht
VMD (Verlag Media Data) GmBH

Die Ordensträger der deutschen Wehrmacht
VMD (Verlag Media Data) GmBH

Die Verluste der Deutschen Luftwaffe 1940-1945
VMD (Verlag Media Data) GmBH

You of course have the Ordensträger and Feldpostübersicht

All these CD's are a compilation of the books on the subject...so......Orginisationsgeschichte der deutschen Wehrmacht 1935-45 has much of it's information from Tessin. Also where Lexikon der Wehrmacht got much of his info from also!

This used to be their website http://www.vmd-media.com/ and you could possibly asscess it from the Internet Wayback Machine http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.vmd-media.com/

If you did not have access to the internet then the disc would have been invaluable......in later years Lexikon der Wehrmacht has covered much of what is on the disc and more.....

Hi Ian and Fronti!

Many thanks for your comprehensive replies. Ah ha! So that is what we are talking about. I heard of it back in that 2001-2002 period but it was always referred to as "Tessin on a CR-ROM". Since I already had Tessin in published form and was unaware of the CD's real or true title, I was in the dark when it was first mentioned in this thread several days ago. I thought perhaps it was something new. Again, thanks for clearing up my state of confusion on this!

Fortunately, I have all of those that you listed in yellow, Ian. The last one on your list is actually BA-MA Freiburg: RL 2 III Meldungen über Flugzeugunfälle bei den fliegende Verbände. Before being returned to the BRD in the late 'sixties, the Imperial War Museum microfilmed all of these loss report volumes. The resulting 12 rolls of 35mm microfilm are owned by many of us, even though the IWM had a $90.00 (at that time I think maybe £ 45-55.00) price on each roll. They are a gold mine of information for the Luftwaffe researcher.

Cheers,

--Larry
