You guys did not mention the nice history of WW2 at the back of the manual.
As far as manuals go it is fairly good, It is laid out in a logical manner, and includes key info. you will never get a "complete" manual for a game like this since it is so open ended and complex with lots of options and choices to make. That is where these great forums come into play. The FAQ forum will grow as more people get access to the game. Questions will be rapidly answered in the discussion forum and bugs squashed in the Bug forum. Also the AARs are a great insight into alternate strategies you may not have even though of.
