You should be able to order directly from D&W on their  web page
(http://www.dw-online.de/english/english.htm).  They also list a  phone
number if you wish to talk to someone directly.

The problem will be how much will it cost to ship overseas.  As an
example Jim and I both inquired about getting the '97 D&W catalog on
their web page.  The letter we received as a response stated the catalog
was 12.17 DM (~$7), however, shipping was a whopping 55.00 DM (~$33).

Most often companies tend to ship via Air Mail, hence the high costs,
because most people don't want to wait the 8-10 weeks that surface
transportation would take.  I recently inquired about ordering some
European headlights from a company in England.  The shipping costs would
have been $100.  That's a tough pill to swallow (though I'll probably
end up doing it anyway).

So, yes you can order directly from D&W.  Just be prepared to factor in
a big shipping cost.  As an alternative I believe Ron's Parts may be
willing to order for you.  However, be aware that he will obviously add
on his profit to whatever the catalog costs are.  The question is
whether his profit will offset any savings he might get in shipping by
ordering along with his other stuff.
