LSSAH: My Th. Wisch biography - Request for Assistence

[markus]

Since mid-2009 I have been writing an English language Theodor Wisch biography. With some 13,000 words of primary text, it is more detailed than any accounts of his life previously written. In addition, 100+ previously unpublished photos and surviving period award documents with detailed caption text are included, coming both from my own holdings as well as other collectors. Veteran input is included as well as new details of other significant "Leibstandarte" personalities relevant to Wisch's career. I've been assisted since the project started by Waffen-SS historian Mark C. Yerger who has also written the book's Foreword. <O</O
If anyone has images, original period documents, or period personal items related to Wisch that I'm unaware of with the potential to be be used as illustrations, please contact me by PM. Full credit with the image and in the acknowledgments will be given if used. More details will be posted when it's submitted to the publisher.<O

This book will be a must have for intelligent militaria and history readers. After seeing the WAF thread displaying parts of the author's collection I approached him privately to undertake the project. He is extremely knowledgeable on the topic and this is the first SS Swords holder biography in the style of my Weidinger and Krag books since they were done a decade ago. With my own projects I have minimal free time, but this project was worth my investing considerable time and assistance.

If anyone has items from the Theodor Wisch holdings that were sold, it is a worthwhile time investment to assist this author. I get nothing financially or materially from help and contributions. But I will be buying 7 signed copies for my closest friends. I don't get excited over many books in my field as quality and new data is rarely presented. This project has both those rare attributes.
