Dear fellow WAF members,<O</O
<O</O
Motivated by a dear friend of mine who served in the Leibstandarte during the war and who liked my previous work done on Swords holder Theodor “Teddy” Wisch, I have decided to take it upon myself to write another book on another LAH personality:
As with my previous work on Wisch, this book will again be heavily illustrated with wartime and post-war photos, including some never before seen material including personal Dietrich memorabilia.<O</O
<O</O
During the past two years I have already been able to secure some never before seen photographic material from the Dietrich estate/family and some rare uniform items for my collection. Veteran accounts will again be included in the book and my main aim will be to try and show especially the human side of Dietrich. I can assure everyone already now, that some never before published details and anecdotes will form an important part of this new book.<O</O
<O</O
Now my request to you WAF members:
<O</O
If you have good quality photos of Sepp Dietrich, especially from the pre-and late-war period (Oberst-Gruppenführer!), and/or some of his personal memorabilia, I would be thrilled to include these pieces in a worthy context in this work with full credits granted to the owners.
<O</O
Schiffer Publishing already assured their interest in the project and I am very positive that with your additional help we can get this milestone book off the ground.
<O</O
In case of further questions or doubts, please do not hesitate to contact me via a PM.<O</O
<O</O
Thank you in advance and regards,<O</O
