Hi,
We are very happy to announce the release of our latest eArticle, 'The Life of Kurt Bühligen', the story of the last Kommodore of Jagdgeschwader 2. The basic outline of his story is well known, with his rise from mechanic to Geschwaderkommodore over the course of just a few years. However, we've conducted extensive research in order to present more than just the basics. The 6,000 word article is based on many sources, including British, American, and German documents, and interviews with the man himself. It can be downloaded from this location. Although he was a high-scoring Luftwaffe ace, to date Kurt Bühligen has received scant attention from historians, and we believe our article fills a gap in the literature.
Accompanying the text are 26 photographs, a colour profile of one of his Focke-Wulf 190s, two maps (one an overview of his career movements, and the other a map of the 7 November 1940 mission on which Bühligen claimed the destruction of an RAF Hurricane), and a full list of sources used.
Our latest blog post also features a short section from a II./Jagdgeschwader 2 'home movie', featuring Kurt Bühligen and another man we've written about in the past, Fritz Schröter.
We hope you like the new eArticle.
All the best,
Andrew A.
