Belgian author Wim Govaerts has written a biography of Heinz Schnaufer, having previously unprecedented access to family photographs and records.  Schnaufer was known by the RAF as the "Night Ghost of St Trond", the latter being the airfield where he was based.  Wim's book uses the same title, but is written in Flemish, though he is writing the English version at the moment.

The book is of very high quality in both production and content, it makes fascinating "reading" even in its Flemish form.  More details can be found on Wim's website: http://www.heinzschnaufer.be/

I am indebted to Wim for his kindness in sending me a copy of his excellent book at a particularly low point in my life shortly after the death of my wife, as well as Fritz Rumpelhardt's autobiography "Meine Geschichte und die meiner Familie" (My history and that of my family).and some signed photographs of Heinz Schnaufer and Fritz Rumpelhardt, real treasures!
