...Eastern castles and fortifications of the HRE. On up thru the end of the 16thC. Prussia on down thru Bohemia and all points in between.

All the books I have the emphasis is on castles from England, France and into the Rhineland (understandable considering English authors), or they deal more with the Slavic and far Eastern European areas (grods). The swath including Prussia, Saxony, and Bohemia seems largely ignored. Maybe a quick mention, but nothing substantial. Would also like stuff on Transylvanian castles (other than Corvin/Hunedorra) because it was a largely Saxon settled area.

Any language is alright, so long as there is a lot of pics, illustrations, and best of all, reconstruction illustrations. If it's all words, then I need English.

Anyone? I know this has whupped my butt for years now.

Thanks,
Christopher
