I am trying to acquire books of the papers and documents of the significant leaders of World War II.

Here is my starter list:

The Papers of Dwight David Eisenhower, Vols. 1-5: The War Years

The Papers of George Catlett Marshall (Multiple Volumes)

Churchill and Roosevelt: The Complete Correspondence

The Churchill War Papers (Multiple Volumes)

The Churchill Documents (Multiple Volumes)

What other titles would you recommend?

Remember, I am seeking books contained the original papers and documents of the person - not biographies of the person.

This may not be what you want (and you doubtless know it anyway), but it as at least a personal memoir: Slim's Defeat Into Victory: Battling Japan in Burma and India, 1942-1945.

The Halder War Diary
Ciano's Diary
The Goebbels Diaries
Hitler's Table Talk
Hitler and His Generals: Military Conferences 1942-1945

A frequently cited set of diaries on the British side are Harold Nicolson Diaries and Letters. He was a back bencher in the British Parliament, but a close observer of what was going on in the government.
