Five years ago, I created a miscellaneous section in my archive, a catch-all for documents that don’t fit elsewhere. The section includes original Ordnance Department drawings of various US tanks. Today, I’ve uploaded three additional drawings, each one measuring approximately 24” x 40.25” (70 cm x 102 cm):

The 32nd Armored Regiment collection in my archive now includes a pair of G-3 reports from June 1944. I’ve also uploaded a brilliant 1:5000 topographic map of Villers Fossard (24” x 30” or 58cm x 76cm). The map shows individual German machine-gun positions concealed in hedgerows.
