    Blood and Honor/Craig Luther

    http://www.amazon.com/Blood-Honor-Hi...0328619&sr=1-4

    I wonder if this is a straight or revised reprint? Though I haven't read the original either...

    It would be a reprint--the original was published by Bender back in the late 1980's. I would assume the text is the same.

        I don't recognize a couple of photos on the cover, so I wonder if new images were added? The original book is a modified form of Luther's PhD thesis. It only covers the formation of the unit, and its fighting in Normandy. I would think that if this edition offered much new, Schiffer's blurb would mention it.

        I hope the next old Bender book to be reprinted is Silgailis' Latvian Legion.

          That book is going to be just a straight reprint of the original with a new cover design by Schiffer.

            Book Reissue

            Hi, when this book is reissued does the publisher have to renew the rights to the photographs in the book? I ask because the original publication had a number of color photographs by SS-PK Wilfred Woscidlo. At that time Wosccidlo was still alive and he sold the rights himself. Now that Woscidlo has died I would like to know who owns the rights to his work. I am fairly sure that there are a number of his photographs of the 12th SS that have only been published in B+W, if published at all. Thanks

              I'm not sure if it was before or after Woscidlo passed away. But he donated a lot of his photos to the Bundesarchive in Koblenz Germany. He also gave a lot of material to Hubert Meyer to use in his massive book on the 12th SS.

              For the most part all of the good black and white and color photos Woscidlo took of the HJ division have been published over the years by Heimdal, Podzun Pallas and Bender. So unless some new unknown images comes out of the wood works, you can rest assure that the bulk of what Woscidlo took has been seen.

                Thanks

                Thanks Remy, I would still like to see all of his color photographs. At last look the Bunderarchive (sp?) only has one on line in color, and by chance it is one with Hubert Meyer in it.

                  But aren't all photos taken by 3rd Reich's official photographers copyright free ever since the collapse of the said country...?

                    As far as I know, the Bundesarchiv lays claim to German wartime PK photos as their intellectual property. That is certainly the case for the photos found on contact sheets in the BA. A grey area is the large wartime prints issued to newspapers around the world. Many exist in private hands, and the Museum of Modern History in Lubljana, Slovenia has a large batch of such photos. They are currently in negotiations with the BA on how to regulate the use of those photos in books.

                    The BA can enforce this policy because if a publisher does something against their wishes, by using photos in a way the BA doesn't agree with, they can refuse to let that publisher use the various photos that are only found in the BA. They know they have a collection that many people want to access, so the power is in their hands.

                    My guess is that the BA feels that Woscidlo's photos were his, while he was alive, but that now they have control over their use. I believe that Walter Frentz's son has managed to hold onto copyright control of the Frentz collection of portraits from Hitler's HQ. At least for color usage, he enforces his copyright, and charges a high use fee. Fedorowicz paid a lot to use Frentz's color portraits in their books, such as Franz Bäke on the cover of Field Uniforms of Germany's Panzer Elite, and Hugo Primozic in Sturmgeschütze Vor.
