Luftwaffe Fighter Ace: Norbert Hannig

Dear Gentlemen,

does anybody own a copy of the ENGLISH version of this book?
"Luftwaffe Fighter Ace - Norbert Hannig. From the eastern front to the defence of the homeland."

I have a German copy and I wanted to check if there are any differences between the two versions for a specific event described in the book.

Would be happy if anybody could help me.
Thanks a lot,
pilot05

Re: Luftwaffe Fighter Ace: Norbert Hannig

I had both versions and compared. There are big differences.

1) The german publisher did some changes w/o asking Mr. Hannig about it. Mr. Hannig complained about this in the interview I did with him:

2) The english version contains some thoughts about politics which are not included in the german version.

I sold my german version because I do not want to support such a publisher, who seems to falsify testimonies of people (like Hannigs book) in order to change our picture of history.

Re: Luftwaffe Fighter Ace: Norbert Hannig

Actually, the English version is available online:

By the way, I find it sometimes confusing when Mr Hannig uses the term 'Staffelkapitaen' instead of the captain's name, and one has to go a few pages back to find out whom he means. For example, on page 123, he says:
'The Staffelkapitän went down with appendicitis and had to go into hospital for an operation.'
Does he mean Udo Hünefeld (p. 115: 'The Staffelkapitän of 1/JGr Ost was Oberleutnant Udo Hünefeld, he of the short match drawn when it had been time to vacate Kiev-West.'), or maybe Emil 'Bully' Lang (p. 113: 'My Staffelkapitän, Leutnant Emil Lang, had already been informed.')?
