Hi,
The Air War Publications team is very happy to announce the release of our latest eArticle, 'The Life of Kurt Bühligen', the story of the last
Kommodore of
Jagdgeschwader 2. The basic outline of his story is well known - his rise from mechanic to
Geschwaderkommodore over the course of just a few years. However, we've conducted extensive research in order to present more than just the basics. The 6,000 word article is based on many sources, including British, American, and German documents, and interviews with the man himself. It can be
downloaded from this location.
Accompanying the text are 26 photographs, a colour profile, and two maps (one an overview of his career movements, and the other a map of the 7 November 1940 mission on which Bühligen claimed the destruction of an RAF Hurricane).
Our
latest blog post also features a short section from a II./
Jagdgeschwader 2 'home movie', featuring Kurt Bühligen and another man we've written about in the past, Fritz Schröter.
We hope you like the new eArticle.
All the best,
Andrew A.
