Re: Combat loss of 3./JG 50 on October 21st, 1943
 

A great idea! Although quite commonly used in other fields of recent history research, I have a feeling that this is not used as much as it should be in our field of interest. (With the exception for, of course, southern England & the Battle of Britain.) Local historians often have a great deal of knowledge in such things, but we who write about the history have a tendency to forget such sources. And like the veterans, those people are leaving us right now - so we really ought to hurry up.

I think your initiative is terriffic, Andreas! Are you leaving for Germany soon? I've got a Swedish friend going there in a couple of days, for some business in this field of interest.
