Die AGO-Flugzeugwerke in Oschersleben

[Richard T. Eger]

Dear René,

I think I did all of that, or at least most of it. Still, I never got to where it asked me how I wanted to pay for it. I did actually place the order and got an acknowledgement. I then replied, asking about payment. So far, no answer. What I really want to avoid is getting an invoice wanting payment in Euros. My preferred method of payment is by credit card or PayPal, where the payment can be made in the seller's currency. Trying to otherwise pay a bill in Euros from the U.S. is nigh on impossible for me.

Regards,
Richard

Dear Richard,
the publisher usually sents a bill.
Please send him a mail ("Kontakt")with your order and suggestion (paying with credit card or PayPal). I think he will answer.
If all this not work, send me an e-mail to ago-buch@gmx.de.
I´ll try and help you personally.
Thank you for your interest.
Glad to know, that my book will be read in the US...

Regards
Rene

Dear René,

I called Dr. Ziethen. We had difficulty communicating because of the language difference, each of us only being able to speak in the other's language very brokenly. As you say, your book will come with a bill. Dr. Ziethen suggests a bank transfer. I can give it a try, but my bank in the past has been a real nightmare to deal with with such. Hopefully, things have changed since.

Dr. Ziethen's business appears to be quite small, with only 3 people in the office. From what I can tell, they have not set up to handle payments by credit card nor PayPal, which will potentially hinder sales in the U.S.

The only easy U.S. option would be to order the book through an intermediary such as Christian-Schmidt, which does offer payment by credit card. And Gabi there speaks fluent English. Had I known that this was going to happen, I'd have gone this route.

Thanks for all of your help.

Regards,
Richard

Dear Richard,
so use my other suggestion:
ago-buch@gmx.de
And we manage this together, I send you one of my books and
you can pay with PayPal: you´ll get your book and it will be signed, too.
Okay?
Regards
René

Dear René,

I contacted you by e-mail. Unfortunately, my regional bank, although large, doesn't sell International drafts. Whether they provide wire transfers, I'm not sure, but such can cost $45, which is exorbitant, considering the price of the book.

Since Dr. Ziethen has already shipped the book to me, perhaps I can pay you by PayPal after I get his invoice and you can then pay this amount to him, completing the transaction.

Others here in the U.S. may find themselves in the same situation. Until and unless Dr. Ziethen Verlag creates a method to pay on-line, I would strongly recommend to others that they order the book through Christian-Schmidt.

Regards,
Richard

Dear Richard,
I´m sorry about this, but you´ll get your book, I´ve asked: it´s on the way to you.

Of course you can pay your book with PayPal.
Use the adress wich I´ve sent you via email.

@ all US-Customers
The Publisher is creating now a better method to pay for orders from the USA.
You´re absolutely right: the costs for wire transfers are exorbitant.
Today we´ll speak about this problem again and I´ll write about the solution of the problem.
Until then, all USA orders can run via my private PayPal account.
Please contact me before ordering via email ( ago-buch@gmx.de ).
Thank you

Sincerely
René

Hope you and the TOCH-member will like it!

Dear Mr. Scheer,
Can we find in your book some information about a pilot, Uffz.Altenburg who have a victory the 22/02/1944 ?
Thanks
Fredo

[AGO Scheer]

Dear Fredo,
Uffz. Altenburg is known as testpilot at AGO, because of less information, I have no further information in my book about him.

But I have written in this book a lot about other test pilots.


What about this victory?

[Fredo Hara]

Dear Mr. Scheer,
Thanks for your answer. In fact, i would like to know if you have information, but aparently not, about these pilot because a another Uffz.Altenburg (Walter) is known on the Kanal front during 1941-43, and i wanted to know if he could be the same person.
Merci,
Fredo
