What online libraries of WW2 documents are out there besides:

1) http://archive.org
2) http://wwii.germandocsinrussia.org - note that you can only view single pages, I contacted their admin and they are working on a pdf export and it should ready in a few months.

non-WW2 sites are also welcome.

For those wishing to search the DRK Missing persons list or accessing the complete Feldpost FPN, please follow these links.

For those interested there are approximately 1432 pages of the complete DRK German Wehrmacht Order of Battle to collect in this series.

I downloaded all pages. I compiled them into a PDF which takes up approximately 340 MB of space. It took me a while.

The only pages missing were the two Volkssturm pages 258 and 259. Fortunately I was able to utilise Georg Tessin 'Verbände und Truppen der deutschen Wehrmacht und der Waffen-SS im Zwelten Weltkrieg 1939 - 1945 Volume 17' to complete the task.

I am in the process of compiling the Feldpost FPN series from this most valuable source. If any one can recommend a superb OCR programme I would appreciate your help.
