Boandlgramer, most authors who write about the Luftwaffe (and, generally, about various air forces during the war) are not professional writers. Most don't aspire to win a Pulitzer prize, either. Therefore, I wouldn't be discouraged by the fact that I don't have a specialized degree.

And why did you put German in quotation marks?

Always thought Boandlgramer was a funny name. Still think it has a nice ring to it, but the actual meaning is pretty grim. For those who are Bavarian impared, here's a nice PDF-document with translations into German:

From BR-Online.de, there is also an online dictionary:

Never know, it might come in handy for your research!

Hi All

For those of us or perhaps only me (!!), who obviously has missed vol 1, can anyone enlighten me as to the contents of this book? Is it about the units and contains day by day missions, losses etc?

Cheers
Stig

104 page A4 soft cover memoir of Werner Zirus - ( 90 pages German text, 14 in French ) covers the period to August 1943 when the author flew his first twenty or so combat sorties with I./SG2 in Africa and Italy ...

Thanks Falke

Appreciated. Do you know we have a beer in Sweden called Falcon? At least the Brewery insist they are number one...

Cheers
