Luftwaffe reconnaissance over Britain

[Doug Stankey]

I must concur that due credit be given to Peter for the sterling work he has accomplished in his loss compilations, which appear in several of the better books. We are all greatly indebted to Peter for this useful data.

I must also state again that his "Battle of France, Then and Now" is a revealing and beautiful work and must be classed as a "must have" for anyone with a serious interest in the aviation aspects of the Second World War.

Another book to look at is the rather strangely titled

'Adolf Hitler's Holiday Snaps - Luftwaffe Target Reconnaisance- German Aerial Photography 1939-42'

by Nigel Clarke, Nigel J Clare Publications ISBN 0-907683-45-2

This book covers Avon, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Hampshire, Isle of Wight and Somerset

There are more in the series too though I do not know their ISBN.

The book contains copies of Luftwaffe photos, so at least records what they were interested in and each photo is dated.

‘Hitler’s Spies’ by David Kahn has a good section on Luftwaffe PRU and places it in context with the intelligence agencies that used (or ignored) their facilities. It was written from primary sources and at a time when many interviews were possible with the people involved.
