The
purpose of this site is to share information about Imperial
German stuff and keep my own findings straight. I don't sell anything.
I am no expert. I am a collector. I give
several opinions a day on things. It is what it
is an opinion
and you get what you pay for. It is free. It might not be
right, and I have been wrong before and will be wrong again. But
it is a heck of a lot of fun. I have been told this site is like a gold
mine -- true -- you have to dig around a lot to find anything of value.
The article tabs continue to be the most heavily utilized part of this
site. Click on the picture to go to the article.
We have started on a new book and the agreement
with the publisher is to have it finished by 2012. This has been
heavily brought on by requests for color pictures and maps from the
handbook as well as the doctrinal works of Terence Zuber. We generally
disagree with the presentation of tactics and doctrine in his last two
books. Therefore, though we really applaud his efforts at bringing the
German method to the front, we hope to do tactics and doctrine a more
robust study along with an example that shows application at both a
tactical and operational level. So it will be an expanded handbook with
a greatly expanded appendix D. made into a chapter. tactics and
doctrine from well before the Franco Prussian war bug through the end
of August 1914 and the clash of untried armies. Printed in color!
"The only book on the market that explains how Imperial Germany and her army worked."

any of you collectors or historians are interested... You can buy it for $25 from the publisher (link below) or
from Amazon or Barnes & Noble's $30. The book is 8.25" x 11"
and weighs 1 lb. 13 oz. If you are interested in World War
I. This is a must-have resource -- if you are interested in World
War II you need this background. The bibliography alone is six
pages. We have been overwhelmed with praise. After
reading about 100 reviews. I think I am justified in saying that this
book is an absolute mainstay.
