WW2 Encyclopedia by Date - Does it exist!
 

Hi, just wondered if there is an Encyclopedia of WW2, preferably of the Kriegsmarine in date order?:-? The idea is that before I launch my patrol, knowing the date using SH3 Commander, it would be good to look up what happens on the particular date, I can then set my patrol grid to suit!:yep:

Something like this?

and this

Yes, the first would be great in English, but unfortunately no book!!:-?

It is in English... scroll down nub. ;)

Same thing. If you register (for free) you can download it as pdf.

Thanks Thomen that's great, and only 2,500 pages to print!:lol:
Seriously many thanks, looks perfect, wonder if you can buy a hard copy, probably an ebook so not!:yep:

Here's a day by day timeline for the Battle of the Atlantic :hmm:
Just click on the year you want over on the right-hand side. http://www.worldwar-2.net/timelines/...ntic-index.htm

Thanks all I appreciate it but what I'm really after is a book that I can purchase so that when I fire up SH3 & Commander not only could I set the grid but can also read through the dates to see what else goes on those dates, especially since the game takes about 5 to 10 minutes to load!!:lol:

Actutally you can "buy" it. But I am not sure if you can get it as a complete edition. The cost for any author trying to tackle that would be quite high. If you want a copy of the original, you will have to order it at Federal Archives in Germany. Cost ca 0.49 Euro per page. hehe

This also lists merchant/warships sunk on a given date, attacks carried out on a given date, U-boats lost on a given date and other general info:
