WW2 Encyclopedia by Date - Does it exist!

Reece · 01-29-09, 01:26 AM

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!

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!

Seriously many thanks, looks perfect, wonder if you can buy a hard copy, probably an ebook so not!

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!!

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:
