Re: Die Verbände der Luftwaffe 1935 - 1945
I have had a copy of this book since 1978. In its time it filled a gap as there were few unit histories published. The content per unit varied wildly with useful coverage for recon but barely a listing for transports. Fighter unit coverage was extremely superficial and similarly for bombers. What remains great about this book is its general coverage, and includes many obscure units. However, the passage of 35+ years has meant that for air units it has been totally and massively surpassed by more recent works.
Conclusion: it belongs in a serious collection for the sake of completeness, but as a reference it has extremely limited value.
These days I use mine mainly to prop up other books where they overhang my scanner!
