Maybe you guys can help me out....

Title. What I'm looking for is two online articles on WW I in French (it has to be in French). One of them has to be a scientific and another a non-scientific one. I'm doing this to help a friend. The only problem is that whatever I type into whatever search engine, I keep getting useless crap. Perhaps the French board members could give me links to good historic websites and/or French magazines/newspapers.

I thank all my loyal readers and everyone else in advance.

is the useless crap?

not particularly useful, I don't suppose


Does the following lead you anywhere helpful?
http://www.histoire.presse.fr/searc...Expr=NOT(OR(565;708;709;710;711;712;745;746))



Sorry, don't read history in French. Science, news? Yes. History? no.
 
Sorry. I meant magazine articles, not wikipedia. Sadly, l'Histoire is good, but you have to pay for it :(. I guess I'm gonna have to go to the library after all.

Non-scientific: http://www.crid1418.org/temoins/2008/09/03/laffargue-andre-1891-2004/ An article on André Laffargue, the oft-forgotten originator of Stormtrooper tactics - cue argument. ;)

Scientific: http://www.crid1418.org/espace_pedagogique/accueil_pedago.html There's probably something here, since it's a collection of teaching resources. As an option there's an analysis of some forts at Verdun which one might tenuously claim to be scientific. Click on Fortifications on the right: http://www.lesfrancaisaverdun-1916.fr/

Probably you can find something here:

http://gallica.bnf.fr/?&lang=EN

EDIT:
Most of the things that you can find in Gallica (for free) are old things, but that means that you could find things written during the wartime.

Im not sure if that is what your asking for, but maybe it can help you:

http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb328568628/date.r="Premiere+guerre"+AND+"grande+guerre".langEN

http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb327615837/date.r="Premiere+guerre"+AND+"grande+guerre".langEN

Also, you could search in jstor but subscription is required, so you may use it from an universitiy or library computer.
