Ok,

now I got the books with me.

The Lapland reconnaissance is by Konrad Knabe, the first version in 1978 as " Das Auge Dietls " or "Eye of Dietl". I got the Finnish version 1983.

I just read it and it includes nice stories of the parties they had with Dietl and high ranking officers. Dietl was a very humorous guy I must admit, Iīll get back to some details later on. And I didnīt know until know that the famous Jodl at Hitlerīs HQ had a younger brother who served as a General in the north...

The other book was by Cajus Bekker: originally as Ostsee, Deutsches Schicksal 1944/45 (1959) and I got the Finnish version (1960). I intend to read it next.

As well I just finished the memoirs of Swedish ambassador to Moscow ( Vilhelm Assarsson ) during the period 1940-1944. Itīs called " In the shadows of Stalin" ( 1963). Very interesting and Iīll be back on some details as well later on.
