N2  - "Histories of Two Hundred and Fifty-One Divisions of the German Army Which Participated in the War (1914-1918)" is a historical account compiled from records of the American Expeditionary Forces, likely written in the early 20th century. This comprehensive work documents the organization, service, and engagements of the various divisions of the German Army during World War I. It serves as both a strategic analysis and a record of military history, providing insights into the structure and effectiveness of the German forces from multiple perspectives.  The opening of this work presents an introduction that outlines the objectives of the compiled histories, emphasizing the collection of data regarding each division's composition, past engagements, recruitment features, and moral estimates. It details how the intelligence was gathered primarily from front-line observations, interrogations of prisoners, and captured documents. Additionally, the introduction underscores the value of this intelligence for American commanders in planning operations against these divisions, making it clear that the work not only serves as a record but also as a practical resource for military strategy.
