There is also Eastern Front and The Med in Theo Boiten's comprehensive Nachtjagd Combat Archive series. I could have sworn that there is another English language book devoted to this subject that was recently published.

Theo's book is excellent, ground-breaking. He includes lengthy extracts from an unpublished memoir, Heinz de Fries " Wir waren Nachtjäger - Kriegserlebnisse der Besatzung de Fries an der Ostfront" . Otherwise 'Night Fighter Aces of the Luftwaffe 1943-45' (Roba/Page, Casemate, 2025) has some decent material on NJG 100, including pilot 'profiles' and Sundin artwork.

Not a book, but my own "Nachtjagd Ost - Eastern Front night fighters of the Luftwaffe" in 'Luftwaffe fighters -Combat on all Fronts 2' (Mortons, 2023) is 20 pages. Page view shown covers IV./NJG 6 in Romania...
