I don't know if anyone has happened on the General Staff Archuives website before me but it looks to have some really useful stuff there....

Looks like its intended to support the massive Europa series of board games covering all theatres of WW2.

But it has a lot of online books (in old German mostly) covering subjects from the 7 years war, Napoleonic Wars as well as 1864, 1866 and Franco Prussian Wars.

Worth checking out if you play BBB or other C18 - 19 rules.

OK its in Gernan but lots of detailed battle maps and graphic OOB's for many of the battles of the period, mainly at the very back of each book from what I can see from a quick look.

Bit of a goldmine for me as the site also has lots of links to WW1 and WW2 official histories for various countries as well.  

Hope some of you find it of use.
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
we are not now that strength which in old days
moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Many thanks for posting this link. I have a number of these in hard copy, but it is amazing to be able to access them all!
