Books That Contain Detailed Accounts of Luftwaffe Units Invoved in Defense Of The Reich- Specifically Wilhelmshaven Area on May 21, 1943
Hello,
I need information on what Luftwaffe Units took part in the defense of the Reich- specifically the Wilhelmshaven Area on May 21, 1943. I am also interested in suggestions of what books you recommend, that might have detailed accounts of the action that day from the perspective of the German pilots. Unit Histories of the Luftwaffe units, etc. Thanks for your help. Regards, Arthur Castle ab_castle@hotmail.com |

Arthur,
there is a detailed account of this day's action in my book "Die Jäger der Graf Zeppelin" published by myself in 2002. See www.marshall-verlag.homepage.t-online.de for full details. Francis |
