80th Infantry Division - Miscellaneous Reports

	80th Division Digital Archives Project Miscellaneous Reports
The more I research, the more reports I find. Instead of trying to separate them into various types of reports, if they're not a Divisional or Regimental After Action Report or if they're not a Unit History Report, they're here under "Miscellaneous Reports." Many of these are interviews with battlefield commanders, conducted anywhere from a few weeks to a few months after the actual battle. There are also some Oral Interviews here, either sent to me or "found" on the Internet. To make this as organized as possible, I'm organizing them as the following: Division Reports Regimental Reports Battalion Reports Company Reports They are in chronological order, at least as best I could tell from the report.
