Dva renomovaní američtí autoři Raymond F. Toliver a Travor J. Constable, ve své knize "Sundejte Hartmanna!" podávají svědectví nejen o životě nejlepšího německého stíhače druhé světové války Ericha Hartmana (*12.4.1922 - 20.12.1993), ale líčí i osudy válečného zajatace Hartmanna, který prožil více jak 10 let v táborech NKVD v Sovětském svazu. Čtenář má kromě bojovýchosudů možnost seznámit se s hrůznými metodami, jež sovětská moc používala nejen proti opozici ve vlastní zemi, ale i pro trestání válečných zajatců. ( )

During the Second World War, one German Luftwaffe pilot compiled a combat record so remarkable that he earned the distinction of becoming the premier fighter pilot in the history of aerial warfare! Erich Hartmann, called the Blond Knight of the German Luftwaffe, achieved the staggering total of 352 confirmed victories. Hartmann's incredible combat record earned him the coveted diamonds to his Knight's Cross, but his wartime exploits convey only an inkling of the drama consummated in Hartmann's life and career. Now, at last, the story of Germany's Blond Knight has been told by the award-winning authors of Fighter Aces of the U.S.A and Fighter Aces of the Luftwaffe. You'll relive Hartmann's extraordinary aerial achievements, the ordeals suffered during 10 years of postwar imprisonment by the Soviet Union, and his subsequent role in the development of the new West German Air Force.

Pretty good story of one of Germany;s best aces. Some of the claims that Hartmann made have been discredited in recent years, but no one denies he was a great ace in JG-52. ( )

Such a talented and dynamic individual fighting on the wrong side. If you are on the wrong side you get forgotten. ( )
