NeunundzwanzigSechs (296) Verlag is closing

Some sad news. According to the email that just dropped, Dr Kurt Braatz is closing his 296 Verlag ('The Luftwaffe Experts') at the end of the year. '296' have produced some marvellous books over the years and its a real shame that nearly all of these never got to see an English-language translation. Only Rall made it into English IIRC. And '296' produced some good ones - Josten, Krupinski (a bio), Cescotti etc etc. Jules Meimberg's book is probably my 'favourite' Luftwaffe memoir. Maybe there's something else around the corner - not saying there is, I have no idea.. Small consolation, up to year's end (20 December) all remaining stock while available is price-dropped - just 15 euros per volume (63% off listed). Wolfrum, Zorner and Drewes are now OOP.

Agreed top quality products and a nice chap as well. I have the Rall and 262 books. Jule Meimberg and others wanted me to do his bio but Kurt deserves the credit

Dang, that IS a shame! I think I've been 'loitering around' for the Meimberg memoirs to come out in English for probably nearly a decade, if not longer.
