The Publications by Thor and Audrey Sheil
Most of these booklets were restricted materials during World War II. They were issued to unit commanders to inform them about the enemy's weapons, tactics and capabilities. Others are reprints of military manuals that illustrate how US forces were expected to confront and defeat the enemy. Now declassified, they have been reprinted. They make an excellent gift for the student of the Second World war.
