HI! and LOOKING FOR ORIGINAL GERMAN TEXT
Greetings, all!
I've been wargaming for about 10 years now and studying the reprint of the Kriegsspiel rules by TFL.
Over the past two-three years I've been looking for the original rules in German, and even went so far as to contact Bill Leeson, but I was only told that the text is available in the British Library.
No US library collection apparently has it, and I even contacted a German military archive for information, but they told me they did not have it.
Does anyone know where I may locate the original German text for von Reisswitz's Kriegsspiel?
Thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome.
I have no idea but maybe another member will be better informed.

My information from Bill is that he obtained his copy from the Militargeschichtliches Forschungamtes, Freiburg, Germany. He subsequently donated a photocopy to the National Army Museum Library, Chelsea, London.
Sorry. It looks as if the British Library reference was misleading.
Best regards & good luck

Thanks for the reply.
I had contacted the military archive in Freiburg am Breisgau a year or two previously. Their reply was that they did not have it.
