DearRick:

Enclosedis a copy of the introductionard text of Cqidg$qMillqflE9llRgegd!_qllb9 GermanNavy. 1850-1945.No. 3: R€codsofthe Geman NavalHieh Command.1935- l9tE, publishedby theNational Archives and Records Adminisnation in 1999. I hav€ hand-annotatedsome entries to rcflectnewly-microfilmed materials. At thetime I draftedthis Qqidg (1994-96), I lackedthe time to prcvidethe level ofdescription I would havepreferred, but at leastincluded all originalGerman file titlesand designations where possible.The publication staff unforiunately selected a ridiculouslysmall font, which savedsome pages in printingbut mightleave the reader with eyestrain.

Thefirst two Guidesare reproduced on Microfilm PublicationMl743 (oneroll), a positive35mm microfilm copy ofwhich costs$65. Let me know ifyou areinterested in orderinga copyofthat roll.
