Palmer, Peter. Western Front AssociationThe Battle of Verdun.  March 2010
-I really like this think it has a lot of information regarding the Battle of Verdun.  It is an overview of the Battle focusing on key events during the War.  It also has three maps of where the German's and French were during the battle which was very useful for me.

-A really good book on the Battle of Verdun, but it has a lot of information I am looking at the Chapters of: The Fall of Colonel Driant, Fort Douaumont, and Fort Vaux and others in between that will be useful to me of describing the battle with dates and tactics. I really liked the chapters of Fort Vaux and Fort Douaumont because it explains how they entered the fort which is really important to me

 BBC Battle of Verdun
Good source, talks a lot about the plans before the war which is useful to me, however it is kind of short and is a overview of the war which I already have.

PBS Verdun
This is an okay site it has a lot on WWI itself, I like how Stephane Audoin-Rouzea talks about how the war affected the people of Verdun and France as a whole.  I am probably going to use some quotations from this source.

 Map of the Battle of Verdun
This map was very useful to me because of the detail.  I was able to easily see where the front lines were because the amount of cities and forts that were included on the map.  This map also was very big allowing me to expand my map, which was something that I was lacking.

History Learning/ Battle of Verdun
I really like this site because it talks about the plans of the war and an overview of the war itself in somewhat good detail.  I think this site will be very useful to me as it includes quotes which is great to add to any project.  I am planning on using this source a lot.

Wereldoorlog/ Battle of Verdun
This person made their own web page of the battle of Verdun.  I really like what he did but the set up is terrible, he also separated the war into phases which I am doing myself.  I might reference myself to this site and possibly use some history from his site.

Battle of Verdun: Summary
A good source and information on plans before the Battle of Verdun which I did not have.  It also has a lot of quotes which I like but covers the same material I already have.  I may use this source as a reference to talk about the plans before the Battle.

First World War
A very good source with a lot of information on the Battle of Verdun including pictures and maps.  I will use this reference a lot to come up with my summary or overview of the Battle of Verdun.  Great source for all of the battles during World War I.

Maps
Western Front Association
Although this map is small it was helpful because it gave me 5 lines
from the start of the war to Fort Douaumont.










Western Front Association
This map was very large and helped me find a front line closer to Verdun.







First World War
A very good map that I used to reference my front lines.
I loved how it covered a huge portion of the battle field,
something that I was lacking.

Some of the images I used were taken on my own during my trip to France but others were taken from websites.
