Bank transfers within Germany are the most popular way of moving money in that country and from what I understand are very cheap. Sorry, I don't know how much they cost. Yes, when I said [some] German banks charge a fee for receiving money, I meant from outside the country.

All the best,
Jason

Hi I search all informations from this Unit. Jan Here's some information that might be useful: Names of a few officers who became casualties : Bauer , Lt.d.R.

Does anyone have any comments on Von Paulus's standard of command during the Kharkov campaign during May 1942? Regards Jaywol.

It must have been good because he was awarded the Knight's Cross for his leadership of 6. Armee at Kharkov.

From my location in Australia, the only way I can pay WASt is by telegraphic transfer/wire payment, for which I pay my bank AUD $28.00. I didn't mind when it was a large sum being sent but it irks me when it is a tiny sum. A disturbing trend I have noticed is that German banks are now starting to ch...

Hi Christian, I've got a small piece of info about Heuschmann which is probably redundant now that you're in contact with his family, but I'll post it anyway. I found the following Verlustkarte (casualty card) on one of my rolls of microfilm: http://www.leapinghorseman.com/images/heuschmann_verlustk...

Hi Christian, I've got quite a bit of information about Oberstleutnant Richard Pavlicek. Here's the brief bio on him that appears in my new book: PAVLICEK , Oberstleutnant Richard: Bataillonkommandeur Pionier-Bataillon 336. Born 3 February 1902 in Wilten, Kreis Innsbruck, Austria. Promoted to Hauptm...

Hi all, I'd like to let everyone know that my next book is completed and at the printer. Proofs have been checked, everything looks great and it's full steam ahead for the book's release in early December. The book is called "Island of Fire: The Battle for the Barrikady Gun Factory in Stalingra...

I would like to let everyone know that the softcover edition of "Death of the Leaping Horseman: 24. Panzer-Division in Stalingrad" has been reprinted. I took delivery of it on 28 June 2006, and it is now available for sale. The best way to order the book is through my website, http://www.l...

Now, if you suddenly sold the rights to Ballantine, that would be another issue.... David, don't go giving me any ideas! :D If JJF had made any show of appreciation for its "old hares", I wouldn't be posting in this Thread. I too think this is the crux of the issue and if JJF aren't caref...

I would like to ask jmark something. One year ago, more or less, i bought a "Death of the .." hardcover copy. But it's nor signed neither "numbered". Can you explain me this? I mean, i read that there was only 500 hardcover copies and each one was numbered and signed. I am absol...

Case and point....I have Death of the Leaping Horseman. I did not buy it when it first came out and had to find a copy online. I paid $50 for a softcover book, and did not buy the Hard cover. I wanted the story. Now I have heard that there could be a second printing....and that will mean that the b...

Hi Christian, Sorry about the late reply. Any idea when you will be publishing the book about the street fighting/Pioniers in Stalingrad? I'm still hard at work on this book (working title: Island of Fire ). A lot of new material has poured in over the last 6 months, including hundreds of pages from...

Not sure if this extra info is needed, but I'll post it anyway. It comes from research I am gathering for a book at Heer pioneer battalions. Sources are too numerous and varied to mention: Pionier-Bataillon 23 At the beginning of 1939, the battalion was as follows : Kommandeur: Major Otto Obernaus A...

Hi Michi, Here's some info that might be helpful to you. 3./Fla 48 = remained independent – marched with 6.
