Fla nach Vorn

[Richard Hargreaves]

Anyone ever seen/read Hermann Freter's (rare and very expensive) two-volume history of Flak units?

I'd be interested to know what's in it - lots of first-hand accounts or is it Gun X was with Regiment Y in Sector Z and used the 88mm Mk10 which had a green sight, unlike the Mk9 which was yellow.

Not really a fan of the latter.

In short: you would love it :)

Got Vol.1 as gift once, 90% is first hand accounts on the fightings of those Heeres-Fla units

Does it include Festung Inf.Fla. units ?

...used the 88mm Mk10 which had a green sight, unlike the Mk9 which was yellow...."

What's wrong with that? Personally I find the best read to be original wartime aircraft handling reports and assesments of their maintenance qualities etc. Plus pilot stories like by Eric Brown.

Excellent.

Shame about the price.

[Richard Hargreaves]

Just bitten the bullet (actually, given the 220€ price tag [plus shipping], more like biting a Trident... ) and ordered it.

If I don't like it, I will send Jan-Hendrik the bill.

for both Volumes......????

You were right. I do. Awesome book.

[Jan-Hendrik]

You were right.

I don't think that there was any doubt on that?
