Cross-referencing personal recollection with contemporary sources from both sides, it's gratifying how often you can pin down a particular memory. With careful wording you can avoid transforming theories into facts. For example, "It was probably this occasion that Fritz Schmidt was recalling when he said..." A statement like "Fritz Schmidt flew three sorties over Kursk that day" can probably be backed up. IMHO the phrases that should really ring alarm bells are "Fritz Schmidt must have thought...", "would have felt..." etc. That's a sign of the author's imagination replacing historical inquiry. |

Anyway, I'm pretty occupied working on the manuscript. Claes Sundin, Horst Kube and I will spend four days together with Walter Schuck later this month, going through the manuscript. Regarding Black Cross/Red Star, Vol. 3, please don't ask me. I'm waiting for it too, and I don't know more than what there is on Eagle Edition's website. It will be out in 2005, I've got a firm promise on that. |

Re: Forthcoming book on JG 5 ace Walter Schuck
Christer, I sent an e-mail to you three weeks ago, but got no reply. As far as that mail contained a rather important question, I decided to ask you for it on this board.
In June I’ve visited your site seeking for BC3 release date information and I’ve found out that the names of your Russian BC3 co-authors (me and Vlad Antipov) are not mentioned anywhere. I went to the Eagle Editions web site and again – they tell about BC3 “by Christer Bergstrom”. And I wonder why? It seems that BC3 will be released soon, so it would be great to hear your opinion about all those announcements before it. Best wishes, Your friend Andrey |

On the BC/RS website, you can find this:
"Volume 3 of Black Cross/Red Star has been written by Christer Bergström, with important contributions by Andrey Mikhailov, Andrey Dikov, Vlad Antipov, and Claes Sundin." http://www.bergstrombooks.elknet.pl/bc-rs/vol3.htm Andrey, I have sent you an e-mail reply. |

Thank you for adding this words on your site, Christer! I hope that Eagles will remember us as well. However it would be great that this sentence would talk about us as co-authors, as we really were. Not just contributors, important or not. >Andrey, I have sent you an e-mail reply. Yes, thank you, I'll reply asap!

Re: Forthcoming book on JG 5 ace Walter Schuck
Hello, Christer!
I’m glad to hear the news from you! I was also confused that our team is not mentioned as a team of full rights authors, but as a raw contributors of BC3. I hope the Publisher will correct the situation and make up this gap. I really think the volume will be great as far we work on it together for many years. The more so, the materials from a Russian point of view, including difficult of access Russian archive documents makes it really unique and balanced. This will be very interesting for readers as far as the attention to the Ost front air war grows. We were the BlackCross vs. Red Star team and are full rights members of the world historical community doesn’t matter we work in different projects now. The publisher shouldn’t forget it! With a respect, Vlad |

I think you may directly ask Judy or Jerry Crandall for comments.
