Lent' s Flugbücher and Personalakte online?
I am just wondering. A lot of people seem to have a copy of Helmut Lent' s flight books and there seems also a copy of Lent's personal file to circulate.
Last friday i called the Bundesarchive to get copies of the Personalkte (personnel file) and maybe copies of existing Flugbücher. But they don' t exist. So i think they exists somewhere else. Do they? If, can sombody give me the phone number of the archive? as i mentioned i am writing a article for a regional newspaper about the possible removing of the Lent graves from the Stade cemetery. I mean the gravestones. Maybe i am writing a second article for a german flight magazine. Therefore i need verified information about the person Lent. WWW links don' t help and most literature references are more or less outdated or glamorize the war and thus not suitably to be used as a reference in germany. Thanks in advance. |

Hello,
A very good biography of Lent has been published. Do you have a copy of this? Yes, is FB is in a number of private collections, but to my knowledge this is being very close-held. Regards, |

I'd be surprised you find much in his Flugbuch that is needed in an article about graves. For you second article I understand your wish, but there you are probably forced to do your own research.
