Luftwaffe Arctic airmen accounts
 

Hi guys

I'm seeking first-hand accounts of Luftwaffe attacks against the Arctic convoys during 1941-1942 (only) for a forthcoming project.

I am aware that the following two German-language books contain such accounts but (a) I do not have copies and (b) I do not read German!

"Uberlebenschance gleich Null" by Bodo Diemer

"Langstreckenflug" by Roderich Cescotti

Can anyone help me please?

Cheers
Brian

Hi
Not a book, but wonderful pictures of life in 3./KG26 during their stay up North.http://www.krigsbilder.net/coppermin....php?album=443

Have you checked Alexander Steenbeck's history of KG 26, "Die Spur des Löwen"?

Hi guys

Wow! What a great collection of pictures. Many thanks Anders for the link.

No, Jim, I haven't a copy of the KG26 book - seems that it's not currently available and, anyway, I can't read German! Have you a copy?

Seems like I'll have to learn German (unlikely) or purchase good translation software. Any suggestions?

Cheers
Brian
