Wir funkten is the only one I have from Wachter, and it is a nice "scrapbook." It has good photos of some of the commanders that I wish were reproduced in larger size. But it is all rare material I haven't seen elsewhere, and for that I recommend it.

"Wir funkten" is really ouststanding and worth its money. However, I would have liked it to have a bigger size so the photos would not have been printed so small. I wonder if it has ever existed as a "real" book because Hans-Otto Wachter's photocopies are sometimes poor in terms of quality. It's a shame because his whole collection of books is fantastic.

Got it..and I am happy that I have ordered it

Welll spent monex, indeed! By the way, Carles, I tried to order your book here in Germany for an acceptable price, but it failed, th eother copies around by he usual sites should cost around 80 or 90 Euros

Jan-Hendrik - I am glad to hear that you received your copy of "wir funkten" and that you liked it. I am curious to know if the printing has changed with the newest version. I have a copy of the original version that was printed by a commercial source on glossy paper, about 2/3 the width of A4 paper. "...und nur dafür!" is also printed on the same size of glossy paper. After that Hans Otto Wachter did all the printing and binding himself using A4 paper. Wachter gave me his last copy of "wir funkten" during my first visit with him in October 1992.

Dear John, be sure that I am a bit jealous

My one ios on normal paper, the size is still the same. Interestingly I talked with him just 30 min. ago

For the first set of copies he still had a "Finanzier", a comrade from the Kavallerie We plan to visit him in early 2009

In case anyone is wondering, Hans Otto Wachter is still around and his publications are available. Last week I received an e-mail from the relative of an SS-Kavallerie Rgt. 16 veteran who had recently visited him in his home.

Since I keep receiving many inquiries about these publications I have posted today a copy of Herr Wachter's brochure here and people can contact him directly. I am not his agent and people must order these publications directly from the publisher.
