Re: The Eagles Over Europe (EOE) Project

Hello all,

Today we hit a tremendous milestone in the Eagles over Europe project. Our main German-language translator has now completed from the Heinrich Weiss manuscripts the entire Western Campaign and the Battle of Britain. This is about 4000 single-spaced typewritten pages of text, totaling nearly 2,000,000 words, translated from German into English. This is a day-by-day account of all German air operations in Europe in the west and surrounding waters during the period from 10 May through 31 October 1940. We're also now nearly completed with translations into English of German text sources relating to the German side of the Polish Campaign, probably another thousand pages. This latter material isn't included in the Weiss manuscript since that manuscript focuses on the war in the west from 1 Sept. 1939 through July 1941.

Over the next few days, I hope to write a comprehensive update on the EoE project, as many other things have been happening, which I will post here and on the LEMB board.

Regards,
