Luftwaffe Losses in Austria booklet

[Simon Schatz]

Hi folkls,

because of the huge demands on infos about the book I decided to share it with all of you.
The booklet was published by my good friend Martin Handig (Ju 388 published by Aviatic) and his father Hans end 2005.

The softcoverbook has 164 pages and is in A4 landscape format.

Book starts with a introduction and notes on the used sources.

2. Part is a 115 !! pages long list of losses in Austria. (Don't ask me how many losses!)
They consists of: date, unit, Luftflotte, place, cause, aircraft type, W.Nr and tactical code, damage in %, crew and their fate, and source

3. Part is a picture section with 84 most unpublished pictures on planes with Austria context.

Booklet is completed by 2 colourprofiles (He 162 M34 and a Fw 190 A-9) I have done.


Here all necessary data:

I have attached a preview of the cover and a order form. I'm sorry but ÖFH has no email. So if you want to order you have to write a classic letter on paper to W. Schroeder (adress see order form).

Nice Greetings from Vienna,

Do they accept Pay Pal or will the book be available through outlets such as Christian Schmidt?

[Dénes Bernád]

Thanks for pointing out the book to us.

Well, it looks like I will have to send cash in an envelope (35 USD).

[George Hopp]

If you need Euros, Dénes, just go to your local bank branch. If they don't have them on hand, they can have them for you the next day.

[Dénes Bernád]

That is correct, George; however, they charge about 5 dollars banking fee. Therefore, I'd be better off if I'd send dollars, cash, and assume te risk (unless they accept PayPal).

How much is the cost in US Dollars with postage to the US included?

BTW, I usually send cold cash in a registered envelope with enough paper to camouflage. None have failed to arrive so far.

It seems great ! Does the book cover both operationnal and training/auxiliary units, or only the first ones ?

And by the way, does it exist a similar book for losses before September 1943 that we (or at least I) didn't heard of before ?

[Simon Schatz]

Hi folks!

Try to answer some of your questions:

@Jim P.: I don't know if they accept Pay Pal. I'll try to get infos on that.

@kaki3152: As I read it on the form the shipping costs are 4 Euro = about 5 USD worldwide, but maybe that's a mistake on the form. I really don't know.

@Laurent Rizzotti: The book covers operationnal and training/auxiliary units, and there is no book about the losses before Sptember 1943.

Cheers, Simon

Hello Simon,

does the book cover the losses in parts of Austria which are today in Slovenia?

Regards,
Boris

[Simon Schatz]

Boris!

Book only covers losses in the "Ostmark" (or Luftgau XVII (since July 1938 ))

Cheers, Simon
