Welcome to Feldgrau.com

Welcome to Feldgrau.com, a non political German military history research site - online since February of 1996.

The focus of Feldgrau is on primary and secondary research regarding the technical, organizational and operational details of the German armed forces between 1918 and 1945. Feldgrau contains over 10,000 pages of information and is growing larger every day. Although Feldgrau contains volumes of research material we do not attempt to provide specifics on every aspect of the period. Coverage of war crimes, atrocities, the Holocaust, and politics is limited or not present. This is not an ommission of error, it is an omission of focus. Feldgrau's main emphasis is on the operational histories of the units and military organizations that made up the German army, navy, airforce and all associated auxiliary formations, both during the Weimar period and the NSDAP era. Feldgrau is a massive work in progress; our motto is "information kept secret is lost". There are many sections here that aren't yet complete but we strive to add new information all the time
