Re: Kriegs-Tagebuch von Hannes Trautloft - Grünherzjäger im Luftkampf 1940-1945 - (auto)biography
FYI - the original Trautloft diary amounts to roughly 1.000 handwritten pages covering his time as Kommodore of JG 54 from July 40 to 43. NeunundzwanzigSechs was ready to take the risk of publishing it at full length in 2 volumes. In my opinion, this is the only serious way of dealing with such a first class source. Bob, who claims to hold the rights of the diary, wanted it cleaned and polished in a way he thought to be appropriate. That's what you get if you buy his 'edited' version.
