Good Resources

[Ekalbs]

Does anyone know good resources for World War One And World War Two, but primarily WW1.

And if anyone says wikipedia... i have tried it already

Books.

But if you mean the net

Google is your friend...you can often find random papers and dissertations on various campaigns and battles.  Also, use the reference links off wiki from the articles.  And, of course, you can always pm people on the forums who know their history, like megaraptor, meadow, and, well, me

well books too do you know any good ones(my public library sucks)? and well the net is iffy i always get the same crap, some of its good but i need more to satisfy my lust. And i don't always know whats correct. Like some battles in the war are "real" in some sites but are unheard of in others....and as far as pm i think id bug you too much...you could say im trying to become more like you, i have great knowledge on these topics but want more and greater detail.

and i knew you would be first to respond

Fighting the Great War is a very good broad overview of the Great War, as is The First World War, by Martin Gilbert.  Gilbert has also written the aptly named The Second World War.

My little niche is Gallipoli, if you need any guidance there just ask!

When the time comes yes, currently i think im going to look into Serbian campaign/southern theater area then that will come.

[VonMudra]

Ech, Serbian Campaign....

Well, there are a couple Osprey books that deal with the Balkan armies, but there is rather a barran landscape in the scope of the Balkan theater.  Sad too, very interesting battlefield, considering basically every major nation had troops in the Balkans at one point or another.

Well, here's the books I know for it:

http://www.ospreypublishing.com/store/The-British-Army-in-World-War-I-%283%29-_9781841764016

Most of those have more just sections on the Balkans, other the the obvious one "Armies in the Balkans."

Also, Infantry Attacks by Erwin Rommel has a long section on his experiences during the crushing of Romania.
