 | Source Documents Online
I am looking to put together a compilation of links to WWII related source documents online. So, if you know of any, please post details and links. As an example, I would idnetify the Avalon Project at Yale University, which provides, among many other original document texts, extensive original documentation of the International Militaty Tribunal's major war crimes trial at Nuremberg, at: http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/imt/imt.htm When there are enough, I hope to put them together in one list.

Thanks, morse. Excellent. Please keep 'em coming, folks, as having the time and opportunity to track down good primary sources is a big problem for some of us amateurs. Below is a link to trial transcripts and documents relating to the 2000 libel action where David Irving sued Deborah Lipstadt and Penguin Books over "Denying the Holocaust": http://www.holocaustdenialontrial.org/ieindex.html
