Steve P Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Hi Gordon, I was recently speaking with John Robinson who informed me that you are working on a new reference book on Kriegsmarine Badges...I was wondering when you are planning to publish it and if you might give a quick summary and 'head's up' on it for us? I hope this doesn't put you on the spot! Cheers, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Hi Steve, The book is with the publisher right now (Bender Publications) going through the design and layout stages. Don't know the page count yet but there are around 1000 or so photos covering the badges, miniatures,award documents, photos of the badges in wear etc, etc. Although the U-Boat Badges are included they are only covered briefly as they were covered in more depth in my book "Torpedo Los!" (also from Bender), so this one concentrates mainly on the badges of the surface units, with close ups of pins, hinges, maker marks etc, I'll post some sample pages once I have had a chance to see the draft layouts etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Williamson Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Nothing small about your contribution Martin. Without you, Skip, Jan Arne, Kay, John and all the others, it just wouldn't have happened. This is always the frustrating part, between handing in the material - and seeing the page proofs materialise. Hopefully it won't be long now.
