Which books are these you refer to? I believe Kirill Rivkin is well versed in most references of other languages referrjng to these weapons. This is why his book is so valuable, he has access and understanding of a considerable number of the 'good books' you allude to. His book is FAR from general ideas on this topic and THAT is why I recommended it.
As Udo has noted, the book by Yuri Miller which has both Danish and English languages in text is also excellent.

I believe many of the 'good books' you refer to are likely in Rivkin's bibliography, but am curious to know which books you refer to. Actually some years ago when researching these topics, many of us actually had references translated!
