Apart from getting an English book (like Peterson's The Birds of Britain
and Europe) you can get translations of most European Field Guides in
German. You'd probably have to get them from a German speaking country
though. I subscribe to Limicola, a German magazine. If you're intrested
I could probably dig up adresses to bookstores from their advertisments.
Let me know in case you really want a German book.
