Negative Positive
Title: Full of flaws
Review: The data in this book is filled with errors, from dates to biographies. It has too many flaws to be considered a good reference source. A few examples; Ailsby states that Richard Glücks, the infamous inspector of the concentration camps made some sort of spectacular escape, in true life, Glücks killed himself in British captivity. Ailsby also states that Herbert Kappler (the head of the Gestapo in Rome) escaped from his prison cell in the -80s and has not been seen after that. And again Ailsby has got it all wrong. Kappler escaped in -77 and died of cancer in -78 in Germany.It seems that Ailsby's primary source on the Knight's Cross winners was Jost Schneider's "Their Honour Was Loyalty" that is clear from the way he copies Schneider's text.So my advice is that keep away from this rotten apple.
