Military history

There is a staggering amount of military history content available online. Here are some resources I find interesting and useful.

Websites

If you are interested in WW2 history I highly recommend the site Project'44 the road to liberation. Their interactive WWII web maps and story maps are fantastic!

Another fascinating site is Dr. Leo Niehorster's World War II Armed Forces — Orders of Battle and Organizations. The site is a gold mine of information.

HyperWar, A hypertext history of the second world war contains a vast collection of documents, maps, photographs, and other materials related to the war. Users can browse the resources by country, theater of war, or service branch.

U-boat Archive is a fantastic resource for those interested in submarine warfare during WW2. The site contains a wealth of information, including U-boat war diaries with accompanying KMZ files, charts and photographs.

Do you want to know more about the battleship Bismarck and the Kriegsmarine? Then check out KBismarck.com.

For those who are interested in Cold War history, Hans Boersma's site Netherlands Armed Forces ORDER OF BATTLE 1985 is a real treat. The site provides information on the orders of battle, equipment, and organization of NATO and Warsaw Pact armed forces during the Cold War

Naval-History.net contains a wealth of information about the history of the Royal Navy. The site also contains an online version of Gordon Smith's book BATTLE ATLAS of the FALKLANDS WAR 1982 by Land, Sea and Air. This book is used as one of the sources for ORBAT mapper's main demo scenario.

The Battle Order website contains a wealth of in-depth content about ORBATs, TO&Es, tactics, logistics and more.
