Re: Rudolf "Rudi" A. Haunschmied - Me 262 production site book author - Is he still alive?

Dear All,

Using the new e-mail address Vince found got Rudi to respond:

"Dear Richard,

everything is OK with our connection. I simply have had not sufficient time to answer. We had the international commemoration at Gusen in May, then we struggled with the Austrian parliament to properly consider the former Gusen complex in a new Austrian law, and currently IŽm writing on a text for the memoirs of a Gusen II survivor. So, please give me two extra weeks to respond. I really regret for this inconvenience, but you know, I work as a mechanical engineer over the day and have to do all that additional work during the nights. I hope your health status is acceptable. YouŽll read from me soon.

Best wishes
Rudi"


So, for the moment, I am pouring through Rudi's book. Much of the subject matter deals with the abominable treatment of KZ inmates. I will try to glean what I can about the actual production, but I think Rudi knows a lot more about the physical layout than appears in the book.


Thanks for all the help.


Regards,
Richard
