Another question:

In "Kampfgeschwader 55 Greif" by Wolfgang Dierich under references you can find Kriegstagebücher und tagesabchlussmeldungen aller gruppen des KG55 on microfilm. Not complete list but still..

Do anyone know where to get hold of copys of the microfilms?

Second question:
translation from german to english, anyone know someone who translate documents/book pages from german to english? (and is familiar with airbattles etc so no misstakes in translating for civilian causes)

I have a few pages I would need translated from german to "readable" from the Wolfgang Dierich book. Payment is obvius.

Those items can be ordered in NARA and are available on microfilm... not especially cheap nowadays and you have to wait some time until the order is processed, and I doubt they're available for the period of your interest

it is also possible to find copies in some local libraries/military institutions, for example we've got some in Poland too

Is this NARA? - http://www.archives.gov/

how do I find anything on there? do they send to outside US as well?

[Pawel Burchard]

yes this is it, I'll suggest you to start with T-971 directory, it is available as pdf, if you have trouble finding it on NARA site, give me your email address via PM

Thanks, found The T-971, just googled their searchtool (I can be smart sometimes )

So lets say I find something intressting, like

1 August-30 November 1940 – 4407/50
German Air Force Operations Staff. “Aerial Warfare against England” – Combat
calendar – Directives and orders for the major offensive operations to destroy the
English Air Force.

wich seems bloody intressting, what is the next step I do and what Cash can I expect to be robbed on?
