Thanks Chris. I was never in any doubt that the photographer if there was one would have been German. There are heaps of photographs out there taken by Germans and I know lots of people collect them. I wonder what became of the photographs acquired for the Eagles over Europe project?

I never managed to get Volume 1 of Jan Horn's Wir flogen gen Westen but Volume 2 is in my collection. I gather there's another title out now more up to date and Christian's bought that one.

I still hope somebody might come forward with photographs taken at Marolles-en-Hurepoix. Maybe a French contributor has them? We're looking at cine gun film as a separate issue.

The longer the war went on, the less the photos as time, availability of photographic paper and a will to take photos influenced. As to camera gun film, it is matter of luck if they still exist as night films were pretty unexciting and tended to be stills of the coup de grace
