THE MOST FAMOUS ORDNANCE PROVING GROUNDS IN GERMANY DURING THE NAZI ERA WAS HILLERSLEBEN.

This is where the famous guns and shells were tested which included such noteables as the 800mm ordnance later to be known as \"DORA\" the largest gun ever made. Here the gun was fired and the ammunition type classified.

EXPERIMENTAL GUNS AND AMMUNITION OF ALL KINDS WERE TESTED HERE from the 7.9 caseless ammunition to sabot artillery designs and \"vengance\" weapons including the V3 long range arrow projectile gun designed to terrorize London.

EVEN MORE UNIQUE WEAPONS WERE DESIGNED AND TESTED HERE including electric and wind weapons designed tobring down Allied aircraft with lightning bolts or high speed jets of wind.

THIS IS THE OFFICIAL U.S. ARMY TECHNICAL INTELLIGENCE REPORT which was submitted to just a few ordnance officers and commands after the capture of the base by U.S. troops. After study and removal of various weapons ans systems the area was turned over to the Soviet Union and remained in their sector until Germany was reunited.

The Soviet Union also used the grounds for testing after the war. Recently it was turned into a German training base after the removal of thousands of tons of ordnance of all types.

THIS IS THE ONLY COPY OF THIS REPORT WHICH I HAVE EVER SEEN. IT WAS WRITTEN BY MY FRIEND AND FELLOW IAA MEMBER F. PHILLIPS WILLIAMSON.

WELCOME TO THE CRITTENDEN SCHMITT ARCHIVES ON LINE MUSEUM AND DEACQUSITION SALE.

THE ITEMS IN OUR REFERENCE COLLECTION DATE BACK TO ABOUT 1849 WHEN MY GREAT UNCLE, RALPH CRITTENDEN AND HIS PARTNER RICHARD TIBBALS CREATED THE FIRST SUCCESSFUL AMMUNITION FACTORY IN THE UNITED STATES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF DRAWN CARTRIDGES , PERCUSSION CAPS AND ALL FORMS TO AMMUNITION OF INTEREST TO THE GUN MANUFACTURING FACTORS OF THE DAY. SPENCER , SHARPS , HENRY , VOLCANIC, JENNINGS, REMINGTON, AND SMITH AND WESSON ALL SOLD CRITTENDEN AND TIBBALS AMMUNITION UNDER THEIR OWN TRADE NAME. THE UNION ARMY BOUGHT MILLIONS OF CTM PERCUSSION CAPS AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF SPENCER CARTRIDGES DURING LINCOLN’S WAR AND ALL OF THE SPENCER AMMUNITION USED IS THE FIRST MAJOR BATTLES INCLUDING GETTYSBURGH WERE ALL MADE BY CRITTENDEN AND TIBBALS.**Over the course of the next couple of years we will be offering for sale thousands of rare specimens of museum quality many of which have never been offered for sale before and which you will likely never see for sale again. Why are we selling this archive and reference collection? After 150+ years of interest in ammunition there is no one else interested in the field in our family. My personal collecting has spanned 50 years and I am at an age when it is time to stop and pass on such activities to others.
