US Army Centre of Military history.

Having only skimmed over this site in the past I thought I'd have a proper look for once and it's excellent. Particularly the 'Online Bookshelves' link. Some fascinating titles presented in full; "German Antiguerrilla Operations in the Balkans (1941-1944)", "Military Improvisations during the Russian Campagn", "operations of encircled forces, German experiences in Russia" etc. etc. Dozens of complete books and Pamphlets on there covering many aspects of the entire war from many different perspectives.

Cheers,

Its a pity that the British Army does not have an similar website!

Another US Army site with a lot of good stuff is the digital library of the Command and General Staff College:

CARL's ContentDM Digital Library Welcome page

There are 300 plus documents, reports, studies and articles on WWII alone in PDF format.

The USAF has a listing of “numbered studies” most of which can be downloaded as PDFs that have some interesting reading.

Yeah got some great stuff off this site including some great articles on the Eastern Front (Owen take note) good recommendation VP!

Not quite on the same line, but I also like:

HyperWar: World War II on the World Wide Web

Lone Sentry: Photographs, Documents, and Research on World War II

World War II Maps - Perry-Castañeda Map Collection - UT Library Online

And if you read Russian, here is the mother of all copyright breaches (some bits in English too). ÂÎÅÍÍÀß ËÈÒÅÐÀÒÓÐÀ -- Âîåííàÿ èñòîðèÿ

Good links, that Hyperwar looks interesting and Lone Sentry has to be one of the best ww2 related sites on the web, I can spend hours there.
That last one is definitely a bit too, errrr, Russian, for me to find anything at all.
It is a shame we haven't easy web access (that I've found) to the British Army's historical stuff, the Yanks and Aussies seem to have a much more accessible setup.
