Hi all,
I'm kicking around the idea of doing some research and analysis on the closing of the Falaise Pocket with an eye towards trying my hand at creating a scenario or two.
How does one go about getting ahold of the official histories of the units involved? I'd like to start initially with the Polish 1st armored as they played a key role in plugging the gap.
I've found this and a few other articles on the web:
http://scholars.wlu.ca/cmh/vol15/iss2/7
And this book seems like a must have:
McGilvray, Evan. The Black Devils March-A Doomed Odyssey: The 1st Polish Armored Division 1939-1945. Helion
& Company. West Midlans, England. 2005.
Any way to find the official unit history or historical documents? E.g. daily reports, etc.
Thanks, David
