Calling All IO-goers! Help With New Guide needed!

[Leeroy Atherton]

So, I've decided to finally get cracking on the second edition of Resources For The Writer, because - in all honesty - the first one needs a lot of cleaning up. However, one (wo)man can't do things alone all the time, and especially with the military emphasis on the site, I need some help finding new links to include. I could go and Google links all by myself, but I'm afraid I might miss something important, whereas someone more military-savvy might pick up on something that is actually quite useful. Links to WWII history, social aspects of the time and other related resources are much appreciated as well.

To make it short, anyone want to help make a list of useful links?

Count me in, Addie!

I'd be more than happy to help you with your task, Addie. I have some links stored somewhere, I'll send you a small list of them in a PM and try to include small descriptions, too.

[Leeroy Atherton]

Thanks, Dieter, and thank you, Maria. However, I must ask that you post them here; my PM box is bursting at the moment. When I clean it out, I don't want to lose anything vital.

[Dieter "Iceman" Rentz]

All righty then, Addie, I shall list them here. Here are some good links I deem worthy a look. Didn't check which ones are already listed, but I hope it doesn't matter.

The History Place - Holocaust Timeline - Lists important events relevant to the Holocaust, from 1933 to 1961.

The Heritage of the Great War - Not directly related to WW2, but to WW1. Useful if your character has taken part in the Great War or is old enough to remember what life was like during that time period.

German Propaganda Archive - A lot of Nazi publications from 1933-1945. Nazi antisemitist propaganda material, propaganda posters, articles, speeches. A huge collection of stuff to go through!

Achtung Panzer! - Information not only on tanks, but various other German vehicles, including pictures of them.

Askew's WW2 Slang Page - Very useful, although mostly contains just US words when it comes to slang. Includes pages for military terms, soldier slang, civilian slang, acronyms, phonetic alphabet.

The World War II Combat Medic - Information of US medics during WW2, their equipment, experiences and the history of the medics.

World War Two Living History - This page has several links that might prove useful, from general info on the era to paperwork, uniforms, info for officers. Many very useful things for the Allied side.

Axis History - Many links to basic history, uniforms, militaria, statistics and basically almost all important stuff concerning the Axis. Searching the forums for specific info can also yield very interesting and useful results.

Panzerworld - Detailed technical information on German tanks, including armour and weapons, armour thickness and all the works.
