German publisher Helios are another niche publisher that have recently become defunct which may explain why Rich Carrick at Chandos was asking for 'opinions' on their Walter Waiss KG 27 book series (seven volumes!) with a view to possibly doing some or all in English. The views of all respondents were pretty mixed - some thought them 'exceptional', others were less keen. My own view - " I have some of the KG 27 books. They comprise a 50-60 page text section with lots of 'unknown' personal accounts, I keep meaning to post a few on my blog and a couple of hundred pages of unfortunately largely uninteresting photos showing wrecks, training group photos, well-known landmarks from the French campaign etc At best you'll get a couple of worthwhile volumes out of them I'd imagine..."
Note the random page views that follow are taken from Volume VI covering 1944 and illustrate these points - pics from Barbarossa, buildings, populace and wrecks..
Losses are laid out in large clunky tables but the text pages do feature interesting accounts..
