Re: Account by Heinrich Weiss of 1940 Western Campaigns

Hi Larry

When compiling Twelve Days in May, I would send Heinrich my draft chapters and he would add/amend - so I didn't have actual access to his work. As far as I recall, he tentatively referred to his m/s as an account of the 'Coastal War', whatever that may imply. Whether it was in-depth or not, I cannot answer. I was at the time being specific to Hurricane operations. I know it ran to at least 700 typed pages but not necessarily in narrative format but rather a series of reports pertaining to each day. Very impressive research but in need of a writer's touch!

One who met him on occasion is Jack (John) Foreman but he seems reticent to respond to enquiries these days, even from me, one who has know him for many years!

Not sure this helps.
Cheers
Brian
