No secret handshake needed. Since this has not been going well for you, I think you should PM one of our long-time members here, Piet Duits. He is absolutely the most knowledgeable researcher I know on the esoteric subject of WWII Heer KStNs and KANs and owns copies of many of them. But remember: Au...

Well, with this back-and-forth exchange I think things are starting to get a little more focused. Can we assume that by "German unit organization for LS Battalions" you mean the TO&E, which in German is Kriegsstärkenachweisung (KStN)? If so, then these did survive the war for most type...

No, everything from Tessin is there. He got what little he provided from the Frontnachweiser lists. These small battalion-size and smaller units rarely if ever have documents that survived the war. There are a number of scholarly books and articles in German on the handling of P/Ws where you might f...

Landesschützen-Btl. 907 Formed 1 April 1940 in the West by renaming Landesschützen-Btl. VII./XVIII, which was formed on mobilization 26 August 1939 in Lienz and Ldssch. companies 17., 25., 26. And 28./XVIII. Employment : 1939-40 with the field army in the West; 8 August 1940 reassigned to Militär B...

Details you want not in books! You must go to British National Archives in London and research HW 5 folders for September 1943. This only source for detailed daily Luftlagemeldungen issued by Luftwaffenkdo. Südost, Fliegerführer Kroatien und Fliegerführer Albanien. Also ask BNA archivist for RAF &qu...

Thanks, Mark, but I already have both. But you should have some takers here, that's for sure. Both are fundamental and esstential research tools.

There is probably a copy of the phone book in the U.S. EUCOM Intelligence Center Frankfurt/M. records at NARA. But you would be far better off in terms of time and cost if you e-mail the Stadtarchiv in Frankfurt/M. and ask them if they have any information on the doctor and explain why you want the ...

Hi Mark Germanicus, We are all very happy for you. But I have two comments regarding your post: 1) I think you meant to type 1,200 pages rather than 12,000 pages. The original work by Norbert Kannapin that was published some 30 years ago consisted of 3 volumes with about 400 pages per volume. So 3 x...

The reputation of these divisions is purely qualitative and judgmental. There is no one nor has there ever been anyone intimately familiar with every engagement fought by all 22 of them throughout their existence. And to make a qualitative judgment, what was each of them being compared to? The Heer ...

Unbelievable!! Some frikkin' idiot Texas bookseller on amazon.com wants $9,999.99 for "The Battle of France - Then and Now" by Peter D. Cornwell. And this greedy pig still wants $3.99 for shipping!! The swine must have been high on crack or crystal meth when he entered that number! As an ...

**Footnote to the above : Colonel Werner G. Goering was the U.S. Air Attaché in Addis Ababa/Ethiopia from 1960 to 1962. I served with him for a year during 1961-62 and saw him just about every day. He and his wife, June, were absolutely top of the line people who could not have been more gracious, ...

Capt. D.H. – Below are links to the two best and most active web sites for collectors of World War II militaria items. Each has one or more sections devoted exclusively to the Luftwaffe. There are members at both who would be able to give you the very best estimate of the flying helmet’s value. http...
