AOK4 Posted 21 June , 2018 Share Posted 21 June , 2018 (edited) At last, the extended English version of the book "Bouwen aan het front" written by myself and Kristof Blieck (from MMP 1917) is out, see https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Defending-the-Ypres-Front-1914-1918-Hardback/p/13917 The book deals with all kinds of German trenches, shelters and bunkers on the Flanders front. A lot of pictures and maps never published before and new information from German archives and there's some interesting places to visit which are until now quite unknown. Enjoy!

KONDOA Posted 21 June , 2018 Share Posted 21 June , 2018 Well Done! P&S were the ones that told me my book was only of interest as a family history and not to pursue vanity publishing. I published anyway as the men who fought didn't need P&S opinion on their sacrifice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mebu Posted 24 June , 2018 Share Posted 24 June , 2018 Having spent some time trying to translate from the original, will be interesting to see how accurate (or otherwise) I was, now it is out in English. A good study of an interesting detail of the war. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to all for your reply. I always aim to put pictures in my publications that haven't been published before. I see way too much of the same in many books (and often even with incorrect captions). Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egbert Posted 22 July , 2018 Share Posted 22 July , 2018 As I do not understand Dutch and English languages at all , I am hopefully awaiting a German language version about the German Army in Flanders . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
