Hi guys

I believe Weinitschke published his memoirs.

Does anyone know title or publisher - or perhaps even has a copy?

Cheers

Hi Brian,

Dieter has been a close friend of mine whe I never mentioned to have written his memories. In fact, he was able to talk a lot about his war experience.

Have you found any evidence of anything published by him?

Cheers

Hi Erik

Somewhere I thought that I had seen mention of his memoirs, hence my enquiry. Obviously incorrect.

As you are undoubtedly aware, his account of his trek and rescue does appear in Werner Gerbig's JG5.

Cheers
