Got a new book today 
Its Günther Rall´s memoires from 1938 -2004. For those who doesn´t know
he was part of JG52, and later became a pilot of the “new” Luftwaffe ending up as a NATO general. He is very much still alive. The book I got is personally signed by General Rall 
A 275 kills ace. :eek:
You can get it here
The book is very nice and of superb quality. Lots of pictures.
Do you know if there is an english translation?
I know about a book of memories of Gunther Rall, Gunther Rall: A Memoir
by Jill Amadiobut i read bad reviews about it…
No translation I´m afraid 
The book is brandnew and it´s Rall´s own words.
I would stay away fram the other one too. I´ve allready reasd enough from this one to say it´s good
It willl probably be out in english I think since Rall is a “big name” in the US for instance
I need help from someone who can understand German.
Name last name?
Vorname first name?
Strasse/HNr. Street & house number?
PLZ/Ort Whats this mean? and why is there two space?

Name last name?
Vorname first name?
Strasse/HNr. Street & house number?
PLZ/Ort Whats this mean? and why is there two space?
Think your right on the first ones, I guess “PLZ” is is postal code, “Ort” is city, but why don’t I leave it to our german friends? :anim_slap 
Also just wondering, how long do you think it would take to arrive? and you think I will have to pay any import tax or anything like that on it?
Sterling.
Well I’ve ordered it from www.meinflugbuch.de I’m just wondering when it will arrive. Jens, when did you pay for your version?
At the moment I haven’t actually paid anything I have only filled in my details as above^. Do you get a bill when the book arrives? or what happens.
Ryder.
You understood everything correct Sterling.
for example if your name would be : Angus Winterbottom:
Name: Winterbottom
Vorname: Angus
Str HNr = Street No of House
PLZ: means Postleitzahl= Postal Code of your town
the second window in that line is for ORT: = Place.
I think the invoice will be send with the book to your adress.
Ok great news, thanks Hia
Sterling.
They are trusty fellows and you´re billed when you get the book. Unfortunately it cost me an extra 15 euro to transfer the money
But then again that´s me 
Awaiting it patiently :rolleyes:
Sterling.
I received the book a few weeks ago now and it looks very well put together. Thinking back now I should have gone for the signed version, but oh well.
Content-wise, I am learning the odd bit here and there but the bits that I understand are written very nicely indeed. Theres lots of nice pictures aswell to help along with translation for me - helps to put the words in to context
I have been emailing Kurt Braatz a couple of times and he has replied to me about the possibility of translating the book in to engish and releasing it.
He has some reservations though as to whether it would be profitable/worthwhile.
Email from Kurt Braatz:
[i]Dear Matt,
yes, we’re just exploring chances, though there is a book on Guenther Rall on the anglo-american market, written by Jill Amadio. Reviews on that one are mixed, to say the least, but being second may end up in a pitfall, even if you have to offer something better. Nevertheless, if we find a publisher who is enthused and tough enough to take on the challenge, we’ll give it a go.
How would you assess the chances of the book in Great Britain and the U.S.?
Kind regards,
Kurt[/i]
Hopefully it will be released in english so I can buy that to
Sterling.
I would defenitely buy it! I have the book written by Jill Amadio and don´t like it that much. One of the highest scoring aces and almost no dogfights described in it!? 
I´m 2/3´s into the book now, finished WWII and on to jet fighters. I find Rall
a very good storyteller and sympathetic and trustworthy too. The book, even though different ranks beside " The Big Show" for me.
Hehe I got the signed one
