Hi can anybody tell me where i could obtain the book Die Dunkelnjahre by Alexander Steenbeck.
Features on KG26 based at Lubeck Blankensee.

Any help appreciated,
Steve.

Do you mean this book:
http://www.diedunklenjahre.de/
?
Unfortunately it's 'ausverkauft', but you may try to write the author, maybe there is one last copy waiting for you. Or a reprint may be under consideration. Who knows...

If you are ready to pay a lot for this book, just buy it second hand from Amazon.de:

Hi Skawinski,

Many thanks for the leads.

I guess this publication is sold out does this mean?

Best regs,
Steve.

[Skawinski]

Yes, it is sold out. But there is an author's e-mail on the website, so try to write him. It seems, that there were 5(!) editions of this book, so who knows, sixth might be on the way
Anyway, the books looks very interesting, with chapters not only on IV./KG 26, but also on NJG 5, KG 200 and units using jets at the end of war: 10./NJG 11 and KG 76.

Thanks for your reply and help.

Rgs,
Steve.

Could anyone tell me how much the book has to say about KG 200 at Blankensee — a paragraph, a page … ?

[Skawinski]

I don't have this book, unforunately (it seems very interesting and I will have to buy a copy for myself. Anyone?), but on the www.diedunklenjahre.de there is a table of contents in pdf and it seems that there is a 7-page chapter titled 'Fliegende Bomben und Jabos: das KG 200'

hi,

that´s correct, seven pages about kg200 - third and second group mainly. interesting photos of fw 190 and mistel, losses and stories of former mebers. too bad it´s sold out. are you looking for something in detail?

all the best
jim
