Eric Stahlhut Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 heya christophe, i think one of the best books on this subject is, 'das buch vom deutschen freikorps-kaempfer' written by ernst von salomon in 1938. it's a rather difficult book to find, and is priced accordingly. next time i get a chance to look through it (i know someone who has a copy), i will add some info here. cheers!

bolewts58 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I used to own a copy of this and sold it about 15 years ago. An original Solomon Freikorps book costs about 300 Euros today. But, the book is in re-print and can be bought for about 39 Euros on Amazon.de (Germany). The original had a plain black cover with the title in gold. The re-print cover is red with a black and white, head and shoulders graphic of a Freikorp soldier. http://www.amazon.de/Das-Buch-vom-deutschen-Freikorpsk%C3%A4mpfer/dp/3922314775 I also believe there is an eBook version.
