Slovenes in Luftwaffe

[Stig Jarlevik]

Thanks Ed

In your opinion, since I believe you are in possession of the English version, are the additions worth buying the book again? I have the German original version

Not having seen the German edition, I can't say, since I don't know how many corrections were made. The English Edition has 383 pages if that helps.

OK Ed
Thanks anyway. The German edition gives 388 pages, so that is not of much use... :-)
Anyone who at this stage could give all of us who just have the German edition some update on the Dutch section? Pilot names and achievements would be fine with me.

Another Slovene in the Luftwaffe was Captain Marijan J. Gorican, a Do 24 pilot with 7. Seenotstaffel at Athens-Phaleron, who defected to the Allies at Aleppo, Syria on 7 September 1944.

Re Neulen's book, the English version is just out in softback.

Couldn't tell you what he says about the Dutch pilots but he does have a weird claim that there were Italian pilots in Nachtschlachtgruppe 9. I'd love to know his source for that!

Ni Nick,

My English copy of Neulens book is in hardback, had it a few years so maybe only available in softback now.

My information is from Friday evening when I was in London and saw the softback on the shelves of Foyles' Bookshop.

The publication date of this edition was 2005.
