Roland:

As I recall, Priller's book was the 'framework' that the English language JG26 unit history was 'built over';

Also:

Too bad guys like Borris, Crump, Gluntz, Matoni, Soeffing etc, never wrote Wartime Memoirs...I'm not sure any of them are even still among the living--maybe Crump is but I'm not REALLY sure.
