20 years of the Museum of Air Battle over the Ore Mountains

For twenty years, we have been sharing the results of our work and the fates of the September 11, 1944 Air Battle. On Sept. 9th will take place a celebration program for the Museum anniversary. Became to be part of the event and earn exclusive benefits.

Publication Black Monday over the Ore Mountains as part of some rewards

Aug 23, 2017

Today I would like to focus on a bonus which is included in some rewards - Benefit (B2), Direct hit (E2) and in fact also Wing Commander (I).

It is our publication Black Monday over the Ore Mountains (or German version Schwarzer Montag über dem Erzgebirge), which I originally wrote in 1994 in occasion of unveiling the Memorial for fallen airmen in Kovarska. During those years it has been translated to German and English, the Czech version had already 6th edition. Completely this publication has been produced in more than 20.000 pieces, which is in current years a good number. For a while we are not upgrading this publication and rather the time I am spending on work on a larger book which should be in ca 600 pages A4 size. But it will be a while before it will be finished. meantime there is this publication which can give you the most important part of view of this event. Your contribution on HitHit is one of those ways how to get this publication.
