My expertise is the Sarajevo Outrage of 1914 and related matters. If you have any good first source material on the subject please post it here.

There are a few documents which either have never turned up or do not appear in the main western texts. If anyone has access to the following, a copy would be most appreciated:

1. The Montenegran police arrest report on Mohamed Mehmedbasic.

2. The Montenegran police report on the "escape" of Mohamed Mehmedbasic from jail.

3. The name and career record of the Montenegran civil servant who released Mohamed Mehmedbasic from Prison.

4. The service record and passport file of Russian General Victor Artamonov.

5. The service record and passport file of Russian Minister of War Alexander Ivanovic Werchovsky.

6. Prison records of the Salonika Trial Prisoners.

7. The report made by the French Sûreté Générale concerning its investigation into the Serbian Terrorist planning meeting held in Tolouse France in January 1914 referenced in item 8 below.

8. The original of the telegram “Documents Diplomatiques Francais III Serie 1911-14,3”, X Doc. 537. If it has italics and footnotes, its not the original.

9. The reports of Father Makarije and Father Zdravko Paunović to the Serbian "Corfu" Government on the confessions of the soon to be executed Apis, Malobabic, and Vulovic.

It should be noted that all these documents are politically sensitive; beware of the security services.

The Berlin-Bagdad Railway issue is here in a new book, I wait to read it. The aspect suffers from the Anglo-American perspective on European history, and original references have been argumentatively dismissed. This may add some grist to the mill.
