I've just graduated the above professional memoir and I started wondering what words to recommend her to other friends. First perhaps an introduction a few words the author of the book : On the production of a gun P.38 in our territory at the time of the occupation and the affiliation of the borderlands to the great German empire had existed for a number of years, vague and fragmentary information. Researchers and commentators have suggested that in the race Spreewerk in Hrádek nad Nisou were produced only some components. Production of complete pistols was, for years, improperly laid in the berlin district of Špandava, where resided the mother plant of the company Spreewerk.This book is the result of the examination of the history of arms production in hrádeckém and chrastavském race Spreewerk and the other downstream producers of military material. ,,,,,,,
So much for the fundamental issues addressed in the book. As the reviews, however, this is in my opinion a little, a book like that for his expertise and originality deserves a far comprehensive and detailed recommendation and so I eventually ( after a few of my embarrassing attempts ) with permission of the author below the words wheel. of John Grouse allowed you used an excellent review referred to on the occasion of the publication of the book on its server http://www.guns-info.cz. :
In our book market appeared the long-awaited book is an outstanding Czech expert self-loading pistols ing. Jan Balcara. Ing. Jan Balcar the manufacture of a gun Walther P.38 in the company Spreewerk in Hrádek nad Nisou is already engaged in a number of years. He managed to locate a number of old-timers, who are these weapons manufactured, having studied a long series there produced a gun and researched in our and foreign archives. And no I'm not talking about the stack of studied literature. Now published work is undoubtedly the most detailed history of the production of the pistol in Hradek nad Nisou. We read here about the history of the špandavského Spreewerku, about the modern history of Hrádek nad Nisou and mainly about the history of the factory Spreewerk. We find here the plans of the building and the memories of the people who are here for the II. world war worked. The next part of the book is devoted to the history of Walther P.38 including a recap of the used of patented technical solutions. The most extensive part of the book is devoted to the manufacture of these pistol in Hradek nad Nisou. The author here is the making of not only recapitulates, but above all delivers the very detailed descriptions of the marking. Because some of the parts for the gun hrádeckého Spreewerku were produced in other enterprises, it deals with the author also manufacturers střenek, the production of the main pro gun P.38 in Strakonice and production components in the company FN in Herstalu. Because Spreewerk produced a pistol P.38, but also mainly machine guns MG 34 and MG 42, and also the proverbial rifles for lidobranu VG 2, writes Jan Balcar also about these weapons and the history of their production. Jan Balcar was in his articles in Shooting revue is always known as an author, which readers gave a number of drawings and photos. Therefore, it is his book full of drawings of components, examples of patents, brands and also black and white photos, included directly into the text. In addition, the final part of the book consists of detailed color photo annex. Jan Balcar does not address all the questions and mysteries that are around hrádeckého Spreewerku and weapons from his production have accumulated. Where is sure, there is a clear. Where he doesn't know and must offer only a hypothesis, it admits. In any case, however, definitively resolve the question of marking hrádeckých weapons code cyq and cvq. In normal bookstores, book, Pistol P.38 and its production in the company Spreewerk Hradek nad Nisou in the years 1942 - 1945 you will not find, but it is possible to order it on the e-mail address hoba@volny.cz or by mail at the address ing.Jan Balcar, Blacksmith 11, 301 00 Plzeň. For information I attach the scanned contents of books
So evaluating the book colleague Jan Grouse. What in his review or in the author's introduction does not mention is the sad fact that this book was ultimately forced the author to issue its own expense . I think it should help when deciding on her purchase. Personally, I can this book I highly recommend and I would not miss in the library of any specialist or a lover's arms..
