Book about Stategic Air War 2006
Considering the publisher and size of this book, it's hard to quibble with the price tag. But it's difficult to tell how much new information will be included. However, it does cover the middle to late war period. I find it curious that East Asia is also included. Perhaps an e-mail inquiry would be in order.

Re: Book about Stategic Air War 2006
I paid about that for Vol 6 (Global War) new...
I also own Vol 5/1 and 5/2 which cover the German war economy. I bought these second hand.

Re: Book about Stategic Air War 2006
Hi,I can see this is a translation of an original MGFA study. How old is the original study?

Re: Book about Stategic Air War 2006
These are indeed the same books as published by the Militärgeschichtlichen Forschungsamt.
Das Deutsche Reich und der Zweite Weltkrieg 1 Ursachen und Voraussetzungen der deutschen Kriegspolitik Das Deutsche Reich und der Zweite Weltkrieg 2 Die Errichtung der Hegemonie auf dem europäischen Kontinent Das Deutsche Reich und der Zweite Weltkrieg 3 Der Mittelmeerraum un Südeuropa Von der "non belligeranza" Italiens bis zum Kriegseintritt der Vereinigten Staaten Das Deutsche Reich und der Zweite Weltkrieg 4 Der Angriff auf die Sowjetunion Das Deutsche Reich und der Zweite Weltkrieg 5 / 1 Organisation und Mobilisierung des deutschen Machtbereichs Kriegsverwaltung, Wirtschaft und personelle Ressourcen 1939 - 1941 Das Deutsche Reich und der Zweite Weltkrieg 5 / 2 Organisation und Mobilisierung des deutschen Machtbereichs Kriegsverwaltung, Wirtschaft und personelle Ressourcen 1942 -1944/45 Das Deutsche Reich und der Zweite Weltkrieg 6 Der globale Krieg Die Ausweitung zum Weltkrieg und der Wechsel der Initiative 1941-1943 Das Deutsche Reich und der Zweite Weltkrieg 7 Das Deutsche Reich in der Defensive Strategischer Luftkrieg in Europa, Krieg im Westen und in Ostasien 1943 - 1944/45 Das Deutsche Reich und der Zweite Weltkrieg 9 / 1 Die deutsche Kriegsgesellschaft 1939 bis 1945 Politisierung, Vernichtung, Überleben Das Deutsche Reich und der Zweite Weltkrieg 9 / 2 Die deutsche Kriegsgesellschaft 1939 bis 1945 Ausbeutung, Deutungen, Ausgrenzung Volume 8 is still in the making and is actually due to be out soon. Volume 6 in the German language was originally published in 1990, but I do not know the publishing date of the articles (pre-1990 that's for sure). Note for those with an interest in the Eastern Front, Volume 4 comes with an extra spiral bound map booklet containing 27 fold out maps.

That's my exact concern, how much pre 1990? I know of similar studies from the 1955 - 1960 timeframe and beleive me they are not worth $ 270, no matter what the number of pages, and especially not on this particular subject. bregds SES |

Re: Book about Stategic Air War 2006
The articles are good, but why bother with the translations if you can get (and read) the original much cheaper?

Re: Book about Stategic Air War 2006
Most of the volumes in original German language I found were considerably cheaper (from 38 - 50€). The Oxford University Press English language volumes were all priced about the same, $270 or so. They certainly are expensive but for an old guy like me, with limited language skills, you take what you can get.
When I was searching for Vol. 6 I was unable to find a pre-owned / used copy so I bought new. Was it worth it? Maybe, but I won't complain. Even in the UK Vol 6 was priced around £170. However, if the need arises in the future I will always look for a pre-owned English edition[s].
