Book about the Luftwaffe in the battle of Kursk
 

I´m looking for books about the action of the Luftwaffe and it´s units in the battle of Kursk. Are there any good one´s?

Here's one:
"Aviatsiia V Bitve Nad Orlovsko-Kurskoi Dugoi: Oboronitelnyi Period" (Aviation at the Oryol-Kursk Battle) by Dmitrii Khazanov and Vitalii Gorbach, 2004, 200 pages, ISBN: 5-902011-07-8.

Covers the aerial campaign at Kursk from both the Soviet and German sides (about 60% VVS, 40% Luftwaffe.) Good quality publication with lots of well-reproduced photos and nice maps. Contains extensive endnotes and appendices, including OOBs, strengths, losses, and claims. All text in Russian.

Some of these latest Russian publications are SCREAMING for a translation - English, German or French, who cares as long as it becomes more accessible!

Why ruin the whole idea by doing a German or French edition and by such an idiotic decision rule out large number of potential customers for whom German or French is as alien as Russian???

Jukka,

If someone translates it to English fine, but if there isn't such a translation, I'd settle for German or French. I am sorry if that is a problem for you, it fortunately isn't for me.

That's life.

Russian however is a problem for me, although perhaps not for you.

Again that's life.

We've been here before Jukka, so pretty much a dead horse, right?
