Online Documents Available from Bundesarchiv
We are definitely seeing a good trend of German document sets from archives being made available online. The Bundesarchiv (German Federal Archives) has made a large number of documents available online through their site https://invenio.bundesarchiv.de. I have not been able to find an index of exactly which document groups have been added but the documents of the Generalinspektor der Panzertruppen (RH10) is one of them. This means there are a lot of good documents to go through. Meldung and Gliederung documents for the panzer divisions are available in this document group.
Here is quick video tutorial that will get you on the site and looking through those documents.

Many thanks for the heads up. I have photocopies of most of these files but the quality of the digital photos (I presume) of these files is sooo much better than the murky photocopies provided by BAMA.
