Re: Questions on 8th AF Swinemünde raid on 12 March 1945

Hello Marcus
yes, my Finnish seems to have suffered from my extensive readings of English language books, especially my ability to use enough commas.

On your translation, in fact I got a couple e-mails after my review was published in which I was said to have been too soft on your translation. The writers had bought the book but had stopped the reading after 25-30pages because the text was so difficult to understand properly. And I must admit that if I had not promised to review the book, I might have done the same, I cannot say for sure. I fought through the first 100 or so pages and I was rewarded with the rest of the book, in which the translation is OK. The book seems to have anti-Anglo-American tendency but has it's merits.

Please, ask someone with knowledge on aeronautical and military terms to read the first 100 or so pages of the book and ask his/her oppinion and add his/her corrections to Your errata list.

Juha
