Dortenmanns "Fliegers". Die Erlebnisse d. Ritterkreuzträgers Hans Dortenmann 1943/44 als Jagdflieger an der Ostfront u. als Staffelkapitän 1944/45 an

[edwest2]

The author appears to be the publisher as well. My translation of the text indicates this book is based on the private recollections of Hans Dortenmann which were written in 1948.

this one is available now;
have just started reading it, but I am already liking it...
its not "based on" Dortenmann´s recollections, but these are the actual recollections, as put to paper by himself so expect a non PC language and some strong views and expressions...


it may be rather expensive, but from what I have seen and read so far, it is definitely recommended....

Any chance off an English edition?

I saw a reference to certain RK-träger as 'Armleuchter'? Any idea who ?
