Searching for info on diary for I./ZG1 Gunner during 1940

[Larry Hickey]

Hello,

This sounds like a memoir rather than a diary. Does anyone know if Neil Page ever translated further on this than the few initial pages posted on his old website? His website indicated that it was to be continued.

It appears that this is now on a track that will lead to acquisition of a copy of the memoir. Once we have it in hand, if it has not yet been further translated, we'll focus on getting that done for the EOE project.

We're also looking for other such anecdotal/memoir/diary accounts by Luftwaffe airmen from the 1939-40 period. Many were published during the war. If anyone knows of other such personal accounts that we should be aware of, I'd certainly like to know about it. We pretty much know about and have all of those that have been published since the war, unless maybe some in obscure German sources. We also know that there are a number of unpublished or privately published memoirs/diaries/recollections, but don't necessarily have them or even know about them. If other board readers know of the existence of such accounts, I would appreciate hearing about these. I have always been struck by the absence of published personal diaries of Luftwaffe airmen from the war. There must have been many written, but few have come to light to my knowledge. Having more of these would go a long way to accurately re-creating the story of the air war during the 1939-40 period.

Can anyone help here?

Regards,
