[Harry64]

Are there any books other than the "Geschwader Histories" in german or english about German bombing attacks against Great Britain in the years from 1942-1945?

thank you

"The Blitz Then & Now, Vol. 3" (After the Battle Publications) would probably be the most comprehensive.

From where I'm sat, I can see "Blitz on Britain 1939–45" by Alfred Price; "Pfadfinder" by Kenneth Wakefield; "Air Raid" by Michael J.F. Bowyer; and "Baedeker Blitz" by Niall Rothnie. Nominally a KG 2 Geschwader history, Ulf Balke's two-volume «Der Luftkrieg in Europa» offers coverage of the wider Luftwaffe effort against the British Isles. Band 2 covers 1941–45.

Declaring a personal interest, there's also the 4-volume Kampfflieger series from Classic Publications but this is an overview of all fronts, not just the British Isles.

I'm sure people here can come up with lots of others.

there are several German language KG histories from Motorbuch Verlag still available;
KG-4, KG-51, KG-55 and KG-100 have been done by various authors and there are newer histories in the VDM range of books available as well.

you might also look for a copy of "Das Kampfflugzeug He-177 und seine Weiterentwicklung" which also contains a good overview of the Greif and its use during attacks on the UK.
should you be interested but unable to locate a copy, let me know

cheers
