German Corps and Army records

[Dirty Harry]

Hello,

I have some of the infantry regiment but like the British Army I’m looking for the the higher formations but I’m struggling to find really anything. I’m looking for the start of 1916 up to the Somme.

 

is there any place I should be looking?

 

thank you,

Have you looked at the official history?  https://digi.landesbibliothek.at/viewer/toc/AC01858814/1/LOG_0000/

Thanks Charlie !

 

My O Level German is  bit rusty to say the least, so im working my way through it, very slowly.

 

Iy gives a good overview, and i also have the Bavarian overview, it was more to get a grasp of the Army and Corps level detail.

 

Danke,

If you can be a bit more specific as to what you are hoping to find it might be possible to make other suggestions. German Divisional and Corps histories are very very few and far between.

Oh dear

more specially the sixth army, Bavarian 1 and 2Corps and their Divisions.

had thought might get Jonathan Boff’s book on the Sixth, but I’m not sure. Had also seen Prince Rupprecht two volume accounts, again not sure as it’s a bit rare and tad pricey ***

Here is a list of printed literature relating to Divisions, it contains very little for the Bavarian Divisions.
