The collection contains research papers culled from a multitude of sources from historic archives and museums to the Library of Congress; government agencies (both civilian and military sectors) and publications such as Naval Institute Proceedings.  Wilbur D. Jones, Jr. was commissioned by the Defense Systems Management College, now Defense University, to write this history of weaponry while on the staff as Professor of Acquisition Management.  There had been no other publication so complete and detailed including numerous photos and drawings chronicling this part of our nation's rise in military power.

Series 3
Manuscript research by Wilbur D. Jones, Jr. for Condemned to live : a Panzer Artilleryman's Five-Front War.

Dr. Franz A.P. Frisch was reluctant to speak of his years as a very young man conscripted into Hitler's Army, not because of shame, but because of harsh remembrances occasionally invading his memory.  In his mind he saw and felt the pain of all those years.
Wilbur D. Jones, Jr., a fellow Professor at the Defense Systems Management College, Fort Belvoir, Virginia, realized there was an incredible story within Dr. Frisch, and as an historian, determined to pull from Frisch memories of the "other" side knowing this was a valuable part of history. This collection consists of person-to-person interviews with Dr. Frisch as well as written answers to questions put to him by Jones. The result is a fascinating account of the Russian Front in winter, an indescribable hell.  The French and Italian Campaigns, the Fall of Poland, and "Land War Machines", the awesome German tanks.

Dr. Frisch discusses his life after capture by Americans in Northern Italy, and his subsequent journey to the U.S. where he was known as the engineering/shipbuilding equivalent to the famous Dr. Werner von Braun of V-2 and rocket fame
