Hey,
Looking into joining this membership and was wondering if anyone here is a subscriber/member of the Luftwaffe Verband?I have one issue of the journal they put out and its very impressive

Any thoughts on the organisation?What do you think of it?
Cheers,
Mike

Do it !

Michael :

Number one, there is no other club/organization where you will find so many leading authors and historians lumped up together.....
There are some great articles in the issues though Barry Rosch loves the idea of publishing so many codes, since this is his specialty.
You will usually find some great new book releases listed and well as reviews.
The above statement about authors, historians etc., as you become a member you will receive a members roster of gents all over the world. To me it is worth the $ 35.00 just for this and I have made several very nice research contacts........

think seriously about it !!

let's see, I would say right now to join up as there has been only one issue released this year. 3 more for the duration. you will be put in the next issue as a new member in the front piece of the issue. Like I said the roster is wonderful who's who in the Luftwaffe fields as many different personalities are listed, many you will recognize. The readership is from all over the world.
Marcus, at one time there was an on-line way to subscribe for membership but am not sure just where the form is located now. may just be a simple search through the search engine(s).
Barry Rosch started this as an offshoot of a now defunct Luftwaffe interest group about 7/8 years ago and membership has grown as a way of bouncing ideas off one another and of course having some great articles produced by the readership. Barry is very strong on the Luftwaffe a/c codes which is his specialty, so many of the issues past present and furture will have strong undertones. There are wanted and for sale items and other interesting tidbits besides what's new for books including review's once and awhile. I do believe if anyone has a strong interest in the Luftwaffe that this is a great organization of guys to be part of.
