Kameraden:
I'm not sure if any of the following links/resources have been previously posted, but I'd like to create a sort-of one-stop-shop for good information for der Rekrut as well the serious-minded Landser. With that said, since threads can become relatively overwhelming in size to read through, perhaps comments should be made elsewhere or kept to a minimum here.
With online resources, url's can often change in a moment's notice; so dead links should be reported as soon as they're made known.
Landser: Uniform, Equipment, Rank Structure, etc.
www.deutschesoldaten.com/
Signal: Patrol, Tactics, and Fortifications

Forest Fighting Tactics (In German):

www.dererstezug.com/SchooloftheSoldier.htm
www.dererstezug.com/hinlegen.htm
www.dererstezug.com/CommandsTactics.htm
Der Erste Zug: Articles (Covering most areas of study)
www.dererstezug.com/equipment.htm
Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 Historical And Tactical Guide. (I'm aware that this is a PC game; however this guide offers a wealth of accurate information as it's title suggests)
www.redorchestragame.com/downloads/manuals/Hist_and_Tac_Guide.pdf
Wehrmacht-Awards: Awards, Badges, etc.
www.wehrmacht-awards.com/
The Collector's Guild: A site for purchasing militaria, but an excellent informational resource for original uniforms and equipment necessary for your impression.

A Militaria Collector's site filled with pics and research.

MP44.nl: great weapon and gear resource filled with pics to aid with the wear of equipment, etc.
www.mp44.nl/main_index.htm
German-Helmets.com: History, Production, Wear as well as Veteran Interviews.

www.grenadier352nd.com/html_pages/sani/index.html
Also, you'll note that some of these links can be used interchangeably as impression aids to help with kit ideas and so on. So, being that this thread covers both tactical as well as the overall German Landser impression, this seemed to be the best place to post it all.
