Writing a book...

[Alexanderofmacedon]

Hi all, I just wanted you to know I'm starting research on a book I am going to write based on the Narva front in northern Russia and Estonia. It may take a while as I am tapping into some Russian government files (a friend works there) and I have veterans from the German side to talk to as well as very many large libraries. Many private photo collectors are offering support if they find any pictures from that base of operations.

Right now I have lots of information from articles and books written down. I'm going to first spend a long while getting completely familiar with both sides of this battle as well as prebattle and postbattle stats. I have talked to a couple of people (some from Estonia) who are willing to help me out. Some have some pictures that they are going to get up for me.

You all can help by advertising my effort on this book. Also keep your ears open if you find any vets (German or Russian) from this battle. These are SOME of the German divisions/regiments/corps involved:

-Großdeutschland
-III Germanic SS Panzer Korps
-9th and 10th Luftwaffe-feld divisions
-502.Schwere Panzer Abteilung
-Estonian 20. W-SS Grenadier division
-61.Infanterie-Division
-Panzer Grenadier Division "Feldharrnhalle"
-Nordland 26.SS Panzer Grenadier regiment
-49.SS Freiwilligen Panzer grenadier regiment "der Ruyfer"
-48.SS Freiwilligen Pazner grenadier regiment "General Seyffardt"
-"Danmark" regiment of Nordland
-"Hermann von Salza Panzer Abt."

Thanks for your interest!
