Red Shines The Sun

[Ian Tannahill]

Giday Eric,

I received in the mail today a copy of your excellent work on the Fallschirm-Infantrie.

The Fallschirmjäger who is the subject of the portrait photograph on page 163 of your new book is Hans Mordhorst. I know this because Hans Mordhorst kindly gave me a copy of this same photograph some years ago.

All the best,

Ian

Ian,

Thanks for the confirmation regarding Mordhorst. When Detlev sent me that image the first thing a thought of was HM, but unfortunately was not able to confirm that deffinatively, so I did not attach a name to the photo. Its strange that that particular photo ( or even a copy of it ) was not part of his grouping when I picked it up.

Thanks again for the comments and the info.

Eric
