Just noticed this on TMP.

I have donated the notorious Nafziger Collection of orders of battle to the U.S. Army's Combined Arms Research Library (CARL). It is online and free to the world. I'm afraid I do not have the URL and I understand that it is still in a "teething" process, but it is there.

Lots of people see these OOB's as the bible for many things. Should be interesting to see when these come on line. I can see a certain bushy-tailed rodent licking his lips already.

George Nafziger has a lifetimes work of collecting OOB's, from 17thC? to 1945. They are often very detailed, and are used almost as the bible by many writers, scenario designers and gamers of all ilks.

Previously you would have had to buys these, sheet by sheet.
