Congratulations to Chris for finally getting it done and out there. A huge effort and a great deal of persistence. It'll be the most expensive book I've ever bought. I'll savour reading it!

Thanks for update Jukka.

I haven't been since the revamp but I doubt it's just you. I visited the National Army Museum recently and found it to be barely a fraction of what it used to be years ago. I'm wary of visiting Bovington again in case I find similar 'improvements'....

No mention of which publisher. No word on price either lol. 1660 pages? I may have to wait for the nearest payday before buying!

I think it's amazing how QUICKLY they won it. An incredibly vast amount of things happened in a relatively extremely short time, on all sides.

A few days ago, Chris Lawrence posted this on the TDI forum: "Well, the Kursk book has gone to the printers. So everything is done and it is going to be released soon. I am hoping by 1 October. The book is 1660 pages. I don't have a word count, but it is bigger than War and Peace, except there ...

Thanks for the update Jukka.

We continue to wait with bated breath!

Great, will buy! It's one of those I've spent 10 years wondering why it hasn't been translated. Balck's book is another - I've just noticed it's out soon in English.

Well, with the time it has taken, it should really be a great book!

I first became aware of this work around 2001/2002. It's had a hell of a genesis. I hope it does actually appear sometime in the not too distant future.

I also read this book a few years ago. As far as I'm aware, it remains the only book in English on Dietrich and I think it has value at least for this reason. No doubt it could be better but in the absence of anything else I thought it was definitely worth reading for anyone interested in the subject.

Hi Gerhard!

You haven't let anyone drive you away for good in the past. I hope you don't now.

Regards & best wishes

Hi Annelie! Just to continue the off-topic trend a bit further :wink: - I don't know where Cohen 'started out' but he's English and I first saw him as a small part of a Channel 4 comedy show whose name I can't remember in '99, as the character 'Ali G'. He later appeared in a Madonna video as Ali G, ...

Sean Oliver and Qvist (and others!) - you've put a lot of effort into this thread and I just wanted to say I've enjoyed reading your posts. I wish there were more discussions like this on Feldgrau.

Regards
Jake
