Arbeitskreis
Militärgeschichte e.V.
This association aims to promote research and scholarly exchange
in the field of Military History. It is open to traditional political
and institutional approaches to the study of war and the armed forces
as well as more recent social, mental and cultural-anthropological
perspectives. It offers an informative and interesting web site
and it is an important platform for a modern approch to military
history. However, it tends to focus strongly on post-medieval centuries.
