During the research work for our book 'The Parabellum Is Back! 1945-2000' we were amazed to find what material was still available. For a long time we all thought that August Weiss his notebooks were in the hands of a German collector/author who had no desire to allow any ouside access to these notebooks. And then we found that someone had copied most of the material when Mr. Weiss was still alive, furthermore that this material was available! In an old Mauser folder we found copies of the original contracts between Mauser and Waffenfabrik Bern, including a list of parts suppliers, just an example. What has happened with the introduction of the internet is that we now have access to sources all over the globe with little or no delay. Things that took months to discuss, using snail mail and local translators get arranged within minutes these days. International contacts help us to tap into local information that otherwise was very difficult to obtain. The Kü mystery will be solved, sooner or later. And our current tools will help us to solve it a lot quicker as well. |
