Present day results for few-nucleon bound state and scattering observables based on modern high precision nuclear forces are briefly reviewed. While in relation to NN forces of that type three-nucleon (3N) forces are mandatory for binding energies and for quite a few 3N scattering observables their effect is rather small in two-nucleon correlation functions as demonstrated for ³He and ⁴He. The old idea of the Coulomb sum rule as a way to extract the pp correlation function is reconsidered and the need for more accurate data is pointed out. It appears to be an ideal case to probe properties of the density operator and the ground state wave functions without disturbances of final state interactions (FSI). In the 3N system below the pion threshold FSI is well under control and therefore the exclusive process ³He (e,e'{NN}) is also a very good test case for correlated nuclear wave functions and electromagnetic current operators. One specific kinematics is emphasized, which can lead to insights into the correlated ground state wave functions with little disturbance of FSI. Finally exclusive photodisintegration of ³He is regarded, which appears to be promising to identify 3N force effects.
