Hi Marc,

I've bought a few discs from Marc and can thoroughly recommend the service. I'd buy more if I had any more left.

[MLW]

Hi Richard,

Thank you for the kind words. As an amateur historian and author, I try to provide what I would want; namely reasonably priced documents and photos from NARA produced by someone who knows something about the archives and military history.

I hope to have new products soon!

Regards
Marc

Hi Marc,

Do you know anyone who might have info on 504th Panzer Battalion related items for first half of 1943.

Regards,

Simon.

[MLW]

Hi Simon,

I don't know if there is much information at NARA, as independent panzer battalions are hard to research. You best bet is to contact a professional researcher such as Westmoreland Research.

Regards,
Marc

[nomis]

Yeah, thanks Marc,

I tried the researchers you suggest and got nowhere.

They told me they were certain the info i want is there, new where to look, kept me waiting for months and then said they think it will take too long to search.

I was told this info was captured and a lot taken to the US , but it seems no-one has uncovered it in 70 years.

Regards, Simon.
