Handbook on German Military Forces


Published during the Allies' campaign in Europe, the Handbook of German Military Forces (1945) is a huge War Department publication prepared for use by US forces in Europe. I saw an edition recently at Half Price Books that has a much better cover. But the bottom line is that if you are running Assault on the Mountains of Madness, it is an appropriate period resource with all sorts of practical details, from the organization of the German army (including lots of details on special departments) to where the safety is on a Luger. You can order it online, but you can also download a free PDF. You'll need to be patient with the PDF download, which is slow.
