So what does it say it English? I can understand tiny parts of it, (I had a sparse, at best, grasp on the German language, but I'm learning) but not the rest.

I have a book about German Night fighters with a personal dedication from Georg Hermann Greiner (German Night fighter ace). A friend of mine, Peter, was in close contact to Mr. Greiner for a long time and when my friend Peter passed away last year in May I got this book with personal notes from Mr. Greiner as a legacy. Georg Greiner passed away in September last year in his 94 year of age.
As your book Holger, It is a part of history in my eyes. We should keep this!
