Verbände Und Truppen Der Deutschen Wehrmacht Und Waffen SS Im Zweiten Weltkrieg 1939-1945 GEORG TESSIN Verbände und Truppen der deutschen Wehrmacht und Waffen SS im Zweiten Weltkrieg 1939-1945 DRITTER BAND: Die Landstreitkräfte 6—14 Bearbeitet auf Grund der Unterlagen des Bundesarchiv-Militärarchivs Herausgegeben mit Unterstützung des Bundesarchivs und des Arbeitskreises für Wehrforschung VERLAG E. S. MITTLER & SOHN GMBH. • FRANKFURT/MAIN Vorwort zum 111. Band Die Herausgabc dieses bereits für 1966 geplanten Bandes hat sich durch den Tod des Verlegers verzögert. Es ist für mich ein tief gefühltes Bedürfnis, auch an dieser Stelle Herrn Dr. jur. Wilhelm Reibert, Oberst a. D. zu gedenken, der in seiner nimmermüden Einsatzbereitschaft für das militärische Schrift­ tum es übernommen hatte, dieses im Satz teure, im Absatz beschränkte und doch so notwendige Werk in einer des Verlages E. S. Mittler & Sohn würdigen Weise heraus­ zubringen. Bisher unbekannte, ungeordnet aus England zurückgekommene Akten des Ober­ kommandos der Luftwaffe in der Dokumentenzentrale des Militärgeschichtlichen Forschungsamtes in Freiburg brachten jetzt, 22 Jahre nach Kriegsende, wichtige Einzel­ heiten für die letzten Kriegsmonate, die in die kommenden Bände eingearbeitet, fin Band II und III jedoch nur nachträglich als Ergänzung hinzugefügt werden können. Mit der Herausgabe des I. Bandes dieses Werks, der außer den obersten Kommando behörden auch eine zusammenfassende Organisationsgeschichte nach Waffengattungen bringen wird, kann erst nach Fertigstellung des ganzen Manuskripts gerechnet werden Er wird bei der Herausgabe dann eingeschoben werden.
