Luftwaffe reconnaissance over Britain

[Chris Going]

Hi Harry

A quick read of others' contributions to this thread suggests you are getting good, solid advice. I have one idea to add. The best way to really learn about a subject -and I'm not joking- is to write a book about it. It forces you to get to grips with the topic in the round, and exposes areas where there has been little research. You also find out- as you wade through the secondary sources- who is an original thinker, and who uncritically regurgitates secondary sources, and so on, and so forth.

It strikes me that having trawled through primary stuff at NARA, and Freiburg, as well as the Bodleian (what's there? by the way, apart from the fact that it is a wonderful library), you are fairly close to being able to disseminate original research off your own bat.

Get it onto paper -and short articles are good practice- and you people will happily come out of the woodwork and add bits and pieces and eventually you will find you have a 'Great Work' well on the way.

Contact me off board as I'd like to discuss some related matters......


Best wishes

Hello all,

maybe: "Ein Blick in die Vergangenheit"
Biographie von Max Lagoda
2.(F)/Ob.d.L.
Eigenverlag 2001

There´s not to much about Great Britan although he describes a couple of missions to England.
No pictures of that country neither.
Lots of text and some pics about his time in Russia.
But there´s a nice recon photo of Mossul / Irak from 1942.

So maybe not that interesting for You Harry but anyone else who is interested in bios of Luftwaffe members.

All the best and

Schoene Gruesze

Austin,

Now there's a thought. I fear the 'now' photos will need considerable re-touching.
