THE AMERICAN HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION (AHA)COMMITTEE FOR THE STUDY OF WAR DOCUMENTS

GUIDES TO GERMAN RECORDS MICROFILMED AT ALEXANDRIA, VA.

The present guide is the first part of several similar publications to be issued by the American Historical Association's Committee forthe Study of War Documents. It is the first index of materials microfilmed under the auspices of the American Historical Association, A pre-vious publication, prepared by Ernst Schwandt, Index of Microfilmed Records of the German Foreign Ministry and the Reich1 s Chancellery coveringthe Weimar Period, deposited at the National Archives, (1958, 95 P*)i covers records microfilmed by the American, British, and French Governmentsin the preparation of the series Documents on German Foreign Policy 1918-19U5.

An America* Committee for the Study of the War Documents was established in 1955 as a private group of scholars interested in documentaryresearch and especially in the microfilming of records of foreign origin kept in American depositories. In 1956 the American Committee becamea committee of the American Historical Association. Its present Chairman (1958) is Professor Oron J. Hale, University of Virginia, who was pre-ceded by Dean Reginald H. Phelps, Harvard University, and Professor Lynn M. Case of the University of Pennsylvania. An initial Ford Foundationgrant and additional funds provided by the Old Dominion Foundation enabled the Committee to undertake the cataloguing and microfilming of declas-sified German records in the custody of the Adjutant Generalfs Departmental Records Branch (now the War Records Division II, National Archives,previously*Military'Records Branch, Federal Records Center, Region 3, General Services Administration) at Alexandria, Virginia.

The plans for screening and mivrofi&ming of these materials were prepared by a Subcommittee on Microfilming under the Chairmanship to theend of 1956 of Professor E. Malcolm Carroll, Duke University, and his successor Dr. Fritz T. Epstein, The Library of Congress. Professor Ger-hard L. Weinberg of the University of Kentucky directed the microfilming team in Alexandria in 1956/7 which is now under the supervision ofDr. Dagmar Horna Perman.

The present guide is a collection of descriptions of record groups filmed by the Microfilming Project of the AHA Committee,project is not yet completed, this guide will appear in installments.

The American Historical Association expresses its appreciation for the cooperation given to its Committee for the Study of War Documentsby the staffs of the War Records Division II, the National Archives and the U.S. Department of the Army.

PREFACE

This Guide is one of a series of finding aids describing those declassified seized German records deposited at the Military RecordsBranch, Federal Records Center, Region 3» General Services Administration, that have "been microfilmed by the Microfilming Project of theAmerican Committee for the Study of War Documents (now the Committee for the Study of War Documents of the American Historical Association).The Guide contains the text of data sheets identifying records filmed. A copy of the data sheet has been filmed as a target sheet at thebeginning of each roll of film.

jpfThe Guide covers 20 rolls of film of the records of the Reichskommissar fdr die Festigung deutschen Vo Ik stums (RKPKV)/. These rolls

cover primarily the records of the Chief Staff Office (Stabshauptamt). Some records of other offices of the Reichskommissar for die Festi-guzg deutschen Volksturns are also included: Kattowitz office, Aussiedlungsstab Kauen (Kaunas, Kowno), Zentralbodenamt. A small amount ofmaterial of the Hdhere SS-und Polizeifuhrer Sttd (Wehrkreis VII) als Beauftragter des Heidi skommissars fdr die Festigung deutschen Vo Ike turns,Sonderstab Henschel and Getto-Verwaltung Litzmannstadt (Lodz)was also found in this collection.

The terms "Serial" and "Roll" in this Guide refer to the sequence of the film. The "Item" number is the identification symbol on theoriginal folder within the captured records collection. "Provenance11 indicates, where ascertainable, the archival origin of the documentswhose description follows. The symbol "FT" means that the folder has been filmed throughout, the symbol "FS" denotes that the folder hasbeen filmed selectively* "1st Frame" gives the frame number of the first page of the folder. Every exposure has been given a frame numberconsecutively throughout the filming operation. The "Notes" provide a general idea of the nature of the materials but should be taken ashints, not complete descriptions. When the German file number could be ascertained, it has been included. The nature of the records filmedmakes it necessary for researchers to check the whole guide since no index has been prepared.

The microfilms are deposited in the National Archives,Washington 25, D, C., as microcopy No. T-7 aad should be requested by adding to "T-7 " the roll numbers.
