For nearly 6 years now, I have been working on getting material for a biography on Luftwaffe Ace Walter Oesau. I am eternally grateful for the people I run into on the internet in the various forums that I frequent who give information and for the people on my other sites that provide me with information or ways to get said information.

I've spent quite a bit on documents, photographs, collected here and there, spent many a night sleepless doing the research. There's still more to be done, and I'm waiting for my feelers that I sent out and the favors I have asked of other people to come in with even more information.

I've read other biographies. Ones of Adolf Galland, Rudel, Marseille, Wick, Graf, Grislawski, Schnaufer, etc.

We that know our WWII history know all the "greats" of that era, save one.

Oesau.

ETA: I have a couple of friends that are in need. If you can help in any way, please do.

#1 "i normally would not do this but guys i need help. if any of you are able to help out i would appreciate it greatly.

my jeep is currently at the shop needing 1200$ in repairs. my hours at work have been cut and i have no one to ask for help. i'm barely keeping a roof over my cat's head, and coming up with 1200$ in the near future is almost impossible. at this point i'm walking the 4 miles to and from work unless I am able to get a ride from a friend. I really need my jeep, living in rural upstate new york, it's about to get really, really, cold. paypal donations towards getting my jeep back would be amazing. so please any amount you can spare would be amazing. my paypal address is shellasaurusrex-at-gmail.com. thank you."

Shell is an awesome person who has been through a lot. If I had the extra I'd help her, but I have bills of my own to pay.

#2 is a friend on here, who recently lost about 90% of her stuff due to a house fire.

If you guys can find anyway to give either of these ladies (or both) a hand, please don't hesitate. You can contact CC directly, and Shell's paypal address is in the text I just posted. Thanks.
