NEW BOOK ! Fallschirmjäger in CRETE
Hi all,
Well, my new book FALLSCHIRMJÄGER IN CRETE ( IN ENGLISH) just came out, here in France !
After, six years "Histoire & Collections" signed me again after my popular success "GREEN DEVILS !". The team of H.&C. under the control of Mr. J.-M. Mongin did a wonderful work and I am really happy about it.
The first to be written by a Frenchman who presents the battle through the eyewitness accounts of the German paratroopers and those facing them, the soldiers of the BEF !
On 160 pages, you will find nearly 400 illustrations including private photos, maps, organograms, four biographies around documents, etc...
Four main chapters :
- The Greek Campaign & the CREFORCE
- Operation Merkur and the Preparations
- The First Wave
- The Second Wave
Four biographies with WWII documents from my collection :
- 1 from the 2./LL-Sturm-Rgt. 1
- 1 from a flight mec of the 4./LLG 1 who towed a glider, etc...
- 1 from the 3./Fallsch.MG.btl. 7
- 1 from the 8../FJR 1
For the Ones who already know me; I have my own way of relating to the events of a battle. My aim is only to share accounts as they were told to me ! It is not the first, the last book about this battle and certainly not an academic work (as I am not part of the Game anyway !).
Price is 43.50 EUROS (postage included).
For those who are interested in having a (signed ?) copy (French or English) or information directly from a serious parisian bookstore A.&C. (Armes & Collections, 19, ave de la Republique, F-75011 Paris), please contact Pascal at :
armecoll@hotmail.com
or Fax. : 00.33.1.40.21.97.55
What they wrote about my work :
Greg Way (German Fallschirmjäger website) : "It is an amazing piece of work that I have not been able to put down since it came in the post this morning. I am very impressed with it...I have been skipping pages, then going back, almost like a child in a sweet shop. I am positive that this book will be a great success, not only with Fj enthusiasts, but with all with a military appetite."
K. Eisenfeller (2./FJR 3) : Ganz hervorragend !"
F.Rzeha (5./FJR 2) : "Ein historisches, lesenwertes, sehr gut gelungenes Buch, dem eine grosse Verbreitung zu wünschen ist !"
S. Bohn (1./FAR. 7) : "Ja es erinnert mich sehr and die Kameraden, die diesen schweren Kampf mitgemacht haben und ihr Leben dort gelassen haben."
Thank to all for the precious help and my best wishes to those who are working hard on their book !
