First World War, a documentary record. Series one,
European War, 1914-1919, the War Reserve Collection |
The War Reserve Collection at Cambridge University Library is one of the finest
collections in the world of materials documenting
the First World War. It was created, as the war
progressed, by Francis Jenkinson, University Librarian,
who called upon all of his contacts in Government,
in the military, and throughout the world, to send
him anything of relevance – posters, leaflets,
books, pamphlets, letters, even cigarette cards.
Our microfilm edition is available in ten parts. Digital guide. |

| Papers
of General Hans von Seeckt |
Generaloberst Hans von Seeckt (1866-1936) was Chief of Staff of the army group
of Fieldmarshal von Mackensen in World War I. In
that capacity he had a leading part in planning
the Central Powers’ breakthrough of the Russian
front in 1915 and the conquest of Serbia in the
latter part of that year. At various times he served
on military missions to Turkey and China. After
World War I, as military head of the Reichswehr,
he was considered the organizer and “father” of
the army of the German Republic. This
collection of von Seeckt’s private and official papers
consists, in general, of correspondence, reports,
diaries, manuscripts of articles, newspaper clippings,
maps,
and some genealogical materials. Topics range from
von Seeckt’s ancestral background, through his educational
and army career, his travels
abroad, his part in World War I, and his service
as head of the Reichswehr to his membership on the
joint Anglo-German-French Mixed Committee on war
graves and his death in 1936. Digital

| Papers
of General Wilhelm Groener |
Groener (1867-1939) was head of the railroad section of the German General Staff
during the earlier years of World War I. In that
capacity he was credited with outstanding accomplishment
in directing the relatively smooth and efficient
wartime transport service of the German forces.
After the war, he was instrumental in aiding the
reconstruction of German peacetime
economy in his capacity as head of the Ministry of
Communications (1920-23) and as
Minister of Defense and Minister of the Interior
in the cabinet of Chancellor Brüning
(1928-32). This collection of Groener’s private and
official papers consists, in general, of
correspondence, reports, notebooks, manuscript and
typescript drafts of his autobiography and other
writings, and some maps and press clippings. Of particular
interest are Groener’s war diary and war letters,
his essays on military strategy and the Schlieffen
Plan, and his correspondence and memoranda
after 1918. Digital
guide. |
