Stab./KG26

This is not exactly what you state in Volume 1 of Bomber Units etc two years ago. There you list Roth as Kommodore 15.12.41 to 2.2.42.....

Should we take this as an update? If so can you update the second formation of Stab/KG 26 which most other earlier sources state did not exist.

Cheers

Yes, this can be considered an update. The personnel and unit databases are being updated continually. In the past year alone, the amount of material added to the officer career database by several hundred pages and at least two thousand new guys. The bomber book manuscript was frozen as of 31 December 2006 and so it is relatively "old". For our forthcoming Ground Attack units book, we re-generated the commanders lists from scratch using the latest data but even this has not resolved all the issues or filled in all the slots. Much information is still missing. Compounding matters is that the original documents are a bit ambiguous as to the types of promotions (acting, provisional, permanent) and dates (they are heavily time-lagged). While we shall endeavor to include updates and corrections to the last moment before commitment to print, there cannot be an absolute guarantee of accuracy because, unfortunately, this is impossible. All we can do is assure you is that we will try to be as accurate as possible within the constraints that exist.

Thanks Doug

Any chance all those of us who has bought your 2-set Bomber volumes can get an update whenever the two of you feel like it?

I have to confess, I am rather sour at those authors/publishers where you have to buy the second issue to receive any such updates.....

This sounds reasonable request! I will start in on it right away and then post it for all to read. It will take at least a week.

From someone who liked the two first books and also look forward to future issues
