Schräge Musik History (2 Viewers)

[Sergio]

I am trying to learn about Schräge Musik such as when it was first officially approved for operations and who manufactured the weapon for the BF110.
Can anyone suggest an reliable, accurate book that will answer such questions and provide this system's detailed development/production timeline (German or English language)?

There is a book that covers the German's development of Schräge Musik, originally titled "Geschichte der Deutschen Nachtjagd 1917-1945" by Gebhard Aders.

There is an English version published by Jane's back around 1979 or so, too.

In the book, it covers the original concept used by Feisler during WWI and then follows the development into WWII, where the concept was used on the Bf110, Fw190 and so on.
