Re: Bomber & Recce/Trans RK Winners: Obermaier



Bryan-

Unfortunately I cannot comment on the Obermaier books other than to confirm that completion of this series would be greatly appreciated. There was another attempt probably 5-10 years ago to create a complete listing of KC winners for all branches of the Wehrmacht:

Die Ritterkreuzträger der Deutschen Wehrmacht 1939-1945. Sammlung sämtlicher Ritterkreuzträger, gegliedert nach Waffengattungen. Herausgegeben von Franz Thomas und Günter Wegmann. Format 29,7x21 cm. Lwd.


However these volume only made it through the Infantry, U-Boot service, Fallschirmjaeger and Luftwaffe Flak (though I'm probably missing a few Gebirgsjaeger perhaps). Regrettably like other attempts on this subject it ran out of gas before completion even though the volumes were intended to cover all branches of the LW flying service, Recon., Bomber, Transport etc.

Curious if anyone else has info. on Obermaiers work.

Regards

Jeremy
