Any new LW bios in the offing?
Guys:
It's my annual quest for new reading material; I know Meimberg, Schuck & Fischer have released their War Bios(I'm still hoping Meimberg's gets translated into English...); are there any others 'in the pipeline' that I should anticipate? Thx NM |

At the risk of appearing to being a crass American, I would love for the Muenchberg bios to feature English-language editions.

I'm curious too. When are they supposed to come out in English? I'm still in the process of learning German, and though I'm better at it, I still have a ways to go before I can claim to be fluent. Then I'm going to have to get a second job to afford the tons of German language books I have always wanted to read. :)

Although not a biography of a single flier luftfahrtverlag-start is coming out with Die Ritterkreuzträger der Kampfflieger Pt.2. This provides a brief bio in both English and Deutsch of these Knights Cross winners. I have Part 1 and for someone getting back into Luftwaffe history I found it useful.

Hi guys,
speaking of Luftwaffe bios, can anyone tell me if the Tate biography of Hans-Joachim Marseille is any good? I am hoping to replace my old Kurowski (Schiffer publications) one with it. |

"Tate takes a look at Marseille's personality, flying skills, physical attributes, tactics, and victories through the words of historians and the men who flew with and against Marseille in the North African desert." The book examines the accuracy of Marseille's victory claims-a controversy for many decades. There are many photos not in previous books. The author has long collected Marseille items. On page 78, there is a photo of Marseille with his mother and fiancee. Tate gives a lot of credit to the Allied pilots. He demonstrates convincingly that Marseille faced tough opponents. A segment of the book looks into Marseille's "Jazz/Swing Connection." It is well-known that he was a fan of jazz. Tate does not claim that Marseille was really a member of the Berlin Swing Jugend but observes that there are many photos of Marseille "with his shawl, long hair, and shag pipe." To me, this book is much better than Kurowski's. |

Tate's book is excellent!
