Hi Byron,
Does it cover flying units only, or are HQs and Ln units also described?

Hy Byron,


Referring to the photos: How many are unpublished?



Thank you,
Ed

Hello edwest,

407 pages, 190 Photos, (60 of them coloured)

I can`t answer how many are unpublished, no one can that. For example, a lot of very rare pics in the chapter of parachutists are from Major Stenzlers privat album, bought for a lot of money.
I don`t know if there exist any copies of it, but i have never seen any.

Attached a nice pic, taken from Kriegsberichter Hptm. Freiherr von Heintze in Bulgaria, short time before the attack against Greece.
It is a gift for all friends of this Forum.

regards
Byron

As I'd imagine this would also interest some of the 5175+ LEMB members, is PM here the only method of making contact for more details or to order a copy? Can you perhaps PM me with an email address? I've just posted an announce on the LEMB but it would be good to be able to point interested members directly to you :)

Cheers
Peter D Evans
LEMB Administrator

Re: My new book "Die deutsche Luftwaffe in Griechenland im II. W.K. 1941-1945"
 

Thank you Peter for the announcement on the LEMB.

Please add that every buyer of my book will additional receive a war diary on a CD of the Fliegerdivision 7 about the attack of the parachutists against Crete, in order to comprehend better this particular chapter of my book.
I`ll send you a message via PM.

Hello Larry,

Re: A few very stright and simple question, :-)
 

Hi byron
Can you short explain me, what exactly your book is about? I know the title, also what is inside, but what was your main objective during writing it?
Everyone who writes has own vision about own efforts (sometimes a lot of work) and what was yours?
Why did you do this title?

For example to present:
all about LW's OdB in Greece?
or
all about LW's combat diary in Greece?
Other thing?

Hello Nick,

Thanks for your congratultions.
Could you please alow my book thread to appear in this section for a few weeks more? maybe it could help get some more visitors viewing it
while it`s still fresh?

Hi Mirek,
good question !!

my main object was to determine:

all the junits, big or very small, the exact period they served in Greece, their bases, their commanding officers, Crews, fieldpost numbers and most of all, losses of planes and crew members and this was the most difficult part of the research.

Bryon

This book looks extremely interesting indeed, covering in detail a significant chapter in the history of Luftwaffe operations, something which has been seriously lacking for some time.

Can I ask whether there are any future plans to publish this work in English?

Regards Richard.

Dear friends,

today I received the books from the print shop and tomorrow I'll start shipping to those who have made an order.
There are some people who haven't messaged me their addresses yet, if you're still interested please do so or I'll assume you have withdrawn your enquiry.

Many thanks,
Byron
