It's never easy writing a book, especially a book about a subject followed as passionately and as enthusiastically as this. I wish you all the best.
English version?
Thanks to all!
It was a big work put togheter awards and documents with deep historical research, but now I'm proud of it!
Yes, this is a general book, as Graeme said, on market there are a lot of specialist books; and this was my intention from the beginning: write a book to know all about the german awards, because a lot of times we collect badges, shields and cufftitles, but we know very few about them; we are able to understand if a medal is good or fake but we miss its historical background.
Sorry to say, but in Italy the collecting (except for a few) is still very immature and there is also a lot of envy. I believe and hope that over the years maybe it will change something...
For the english version I think we have to wait, I'm working on the english version of my other book about Wehrpasse and Soldbucher and on an book about the Memel medal... That this will be only e-book (free for all the collector community) and I will present you in few month.
Thanks again!
My books:
- THE WEHRPAß & SOLDBUCH OF THE WH
- THE SS TK RING
- THE ITALIAN-GERMAN MEDAL
- THE ANTI PARTISAN BADGE
- THE AWARDS OF THE LW
This has been a hope of mine for a while now - to put a book out about the history of each medal from the Wehrmacht - I have been collecting data for months now but am still VERY far off with pictures etc.
It would be a very general introduction to badges and more of a collectors guide/checklist of each badge.
I respect and envy the finishing of your book as I know how much work has gone into it!
Antony Congratulations, a book is something to be proud of, after all the time, effort, and research you should be very pleased! I have been collecting veterans stories from WW2, and hope to publish them someday!
Ludwig, I've posted some pages of the italian version of the book some month ago in the "Wehrpass & Soldbuch" room, I put here some images (aven if this is not the correct room...).
The cover is from the english version, the rest is from italian version (the english one will be a little different and better... )
