2.e4 is called "Königsgambit" in german.

tracke, thank you very much - I'm sure that is the book I saw. It was the old edition, so I had no idea it had been updated in 1979 - I'll have a look on ebay for that 2nd edition.

Maybe You saw the german chess book Froms Gambit by Dr. Georg Deppe, it´s from 1963 and about a thematical corr tournament 1961/62. There´s also an extented second edetion from 1979 (with additional material from two more corr tournaments in 66/68 & 69/71, 109 pages, edited by Schmaus from Heidelberg).
The book has been out of sale for a long time, but is not very rare: the second edition is regulary offered in ebay.de . I do not have it on my own (though I play the Froms with both colours), but a clubmate does.

Thanks for the tip Christoph - I know Schwarz wrote a book on the Bird's, but a google search with schwarz + from gambit doesn't turn up the tournament book. (Did 1 f4 e5 perhaps have a different name in German then?) Anyway, Rolf Schwarz must have been a remarkable character!

A long time ago, I saw a book of a From Gambit correspondence theme tournament in the 1960s(?): I think it was in German, or maybe it was Dutch (it wouldn't have made much difference to me in those days!). I know that isn't much to go on, but could any erudite person supply the title/author or anything else about the book? 
Thanks in advance!
