Book on Nachtschlachtgruppen 1, 2 and 20 / Störkampf- & Nachtschlacht-units

[C.Moeller]

Thank you very much!

@Boris: Sorry, these units are mentioned in the book only in a few sentences. However, I try to include all missing units in a future project (see below).

@Del: The development of the Störkampf-/Nachtschlacht-units on the Eastern Front is mentioned until summer 1944. Also, I have given some examples of their "work" & tactics, including missions of Störkampfgruppe Luftflotte 1 in early 1943 and Störkampfgruppe Luftflotte 6 in May/June 1943 and during operation "Zitadelle" in July/August 1943. So, the pages 27 to 134 of the book deal with Störkampf- and Nachtschlachtgruppen on the Eastern Front.

However, I have lots of other material on the groups which must be included in a new book, I think ;-)!

Greetings,
Christian

This book will be also presented and sold in Speyer on the 19th of April during the Flugzeug-Teilebörse, exhibition hall direct next to the Technik Museum Speyer.

For autograph collectors: Meet there the veterans Hajo Herrmann, Hans-Ekkehard Bob, Karl-Fritz Schlossstein, Ernst Scheufele, Walter Schuck and the nightfighter Peter Spoden.

Hope to see you.
Cheers, Horst

Thank you very much for the information. A copy of the book is on its way to me at the moment so it is somewhere between Germany and Texas. I do hope that you consider writing a second book on the other units in the East although I suspect it is a very complex subject.

Hello Del,

yes indeed such a project would be very complex.
Although the biggest problem would be having the time for writing. The sources and material are not that problem, as I do have lots of papers, which fill my office and are waiting for being cleared away one day!

Greetings,

Christian
