How is weather tomorrow W-Germany?
min/max temp: 17/29 deg C, 1/8 to 3/8 Cu ... quite humid.
With short armed shirt or polo/t-shirt and short trousers you'll be fine.
Drving by car? You'll do better with the train (ICE) from FRA to Freiburg. Currently (as always) we have some construction work on the A5 south of Hockenheim/Walldorf, especially south of Karlsruhe to Rastatt. Driving is no fun - apart from midnight 'til 5 in the morning. Anyway - good luck on the motorway!

... old books on Ju 88/188/388 ...
True if you prefer the technical/production info and data.
Not completely true if you look for operational/unit-chronicle-style documentation.
Jan Horn recently published an entirely new/re-written day-by-day operations chronicle of KG 6 (self published - b.t.w. you can find my name in the "acknowledgments" section ... haha).
Similar work is "on a good way" for KG 76 from Jan/44 on 'til the end, and for KG 66, by the same author - the two units are partially historically conncted (pathfinding, illumination tasks, crew KG 76 -> KG 66).
And i know of rumors regarding a KG 76 unit chronicle (1939-43) from another, well known, German author.
So ... new good "stuff" is about to come.
