Each register card describes an individual record item of the NOKW document series and its uses before the tribunals. Many of the individual records of this series were offered as evidence in the List and the von Leeb cases, 2 of the 12 cases tried before the U.S. mili- tary tribunals. Background Jurisdictions and Cases In Europe, the United States participated in war crimes trials under three jurisdictions: that of the International Military Tribunal (IMT), that of the U.S. military tribunals at Nuernberg, and that of the U.S. Army courts. General authority for the proceedings of all three jurisdictions derived from the Declaration of German Atrocities (Moscow Declaration), released November 1, 1943, which expressed Allied determination to arrest and bring to justice Axis war criminals. Brief descrip- tions of the war crimes trials records in the National Archives are in the Record Group Statement near the end of this introduction.

    Introduction to Researching Numbered SS Daggers Ross J

    Introduction to Researching Numbered SS Daggers Ross J. Kelbaugh www.ssdaggers.com (Originally published in German in Ralf Siegert’s Die Dienstdolchs der Schutzstaffel SS) This Herder full ground Ehrendolch der SS numbered 7101 under the lower cross guard was linked to SS-Oberscharführer Gustav Unbehaun by the pioneering research of the author of this chapter. Ross J. Kelbaugh Collection With the collapse of Hitler’s Third Reich in May 1945, a flood of Nazi artifacts flowed from Germany around the world as Allied soldiers brought prized souvenirs home to confirm and celebrate their costly victory. As years passed, much of these spoils of war became relegated to attics, garages, basements and closets as those veterans moved on to face the new challenges of their future. Many of these Axis helmets, pistols, medals, daggers and other souvenirs have now found their way into the hands of a new generation as interest in the dramatic events of that era continues to grow while the “Greatest Generation” slips away. These new owners are now often interested in the study of these artifacts as a springboard to better understand the life and times of that tumultuous era. Amongst all fields of collecting, the context of artifacts and its connection with its original owner has usually been lost in the mists of time. Those that can be definitely linked with a person often command an additional premium as this association now breaths life into the inanimate object. Few other collecting fields present this opportunity to personalize the ownership experience than that of numbered SS daggers.

    Archiv Im Spannungsfeld Von Politik, Wissenschaft Und Öffentlicher Meinung

    DIETER KRÜGER ARCHIV IM SPANNUNGSFELD VON POLITIK, WISSENSCHAFT UND ÖFFENTLICHER MEINUNG Geschichte und Überlieferungsprofil des ehemaligen „Berlin Document Center" Am 30.Juni 1994 holten zwei amerikanische Militärpolizisten das Sternenbanner im Berlin Document Center (BDC) im Grunewald ein. Damit beendete die letzte zivile Dienststelle der Vereinigten Staaten auf deutschem Boden ihre Tätigkeit. Das seit l.Juli 1994 als Außenstelle Berlin-Zehlendorf dem Bundesarchiv angehörende BDC hat freilich nur vorübergehenden Charakter. Voraussichtlich zum Zeitpunkt des Er­ scheinens dieses Beitrages Anfang 1997 werden die Sammlungen und das Personal in die Abteilung Deutsches Reich des Bundesarchivs in Berlin-Lichterfelde überführt sein. Spätestens dann geht ein bisweilen bewegtes Kapitel deutscher Archivgeschichte der Nachkriegszeit zu Ende. Nicht zuletzt in der amerikanischen Öffentlichkeit hat­ te die Übergabe des BDC an das Bundesarchiv noch im Frühjahr 1994 eine heftige Kontroverse ausgelöst. Freilich war die bald fünfzigjährige Existenz des BDC ver­ gleichsweise häufig Gegenstand öffentlicher Auseinandersetzungen1. Schon im Juli 1945 richtete die amerikanische Besatzungsmacht in Berlin wie auch an anderen Orten ihrer Zone ein Document Center ein. Hier wurden die erbeuteten deutschen Akten zusammengeführt2.

What place did foreign musical performers have in Germany’s increasingly xenophobic employment market during the 1930s? Likewise, how did the Nazis deal with those musicians, and what margin of manoeuvre were foreigners given to carry out their craft? These are the questions that form the basis of this thesis. To answer them, I examine a collection of primary Reichsmusikkammer (Reich Music Chamber) records that are now held on microfilm in the United States National Archives, grouped under the description “Auftrittsgenehmigungen für Ausländer” (Performance Permits for Foreigners; specifically musicians).
  • T-457 Publication Title: Documents Concerning Jews in the Berlin

    T-457 Publication Title: Documents Concerning Jews in the Berlin

    Publication Number: T-457 Publication Title: Documents Concerning Jews in the Berlin Document Center Date Published: n.d. DOCUMENTS CONCERNING JEWS IN THE BERLIN DOCUMENT CENTER Introduction This collection was filmed in 1959 for the Library of the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York. The original records are presumably in the custody of the Bundesarchiv, although they apparently were not re- filmed during the microfilming of all Berlin Document Center (BDC) records in Berlin in 1992-1994, prior to the transfer of the BDC from U.S. control to the Bundesarchiv. The records are organized into various collections, i.e., Archiv Schumacher, Streicher, Hans Frank, Hauptarchiv der NSDAP, Geschaedigte Juden, etc., and Ordner, or folders, and include newspaper clippings, letters, manuscripts, pamphlets, reports and other documents originating with the SA, SS, Gestapo, Reich Ministry of Justice and Reichskulturkammer (RKK, Reich Chamber of Culture) from 1920- 1945. The publication contains 14 rolls, twelve in 16 mm and 2 in 35 mm. No frame numbers were used in filming. The BDC filmed a listing of roll contents (in German) at the end of each roll. Some images are very dark and difficult to read.

We are Heinz Fehlauer and Jana Blumberg from the German Federal Archives' division Inneres, Justiz und personenbezogene Unterlagen der NS-Zeit or Nazi-era documents regarding domestic affairs, the judiciary, and personal files. We would like to present just a few of the numerous personal files in our holdings that can be used to prove membership in the NSDAP and it's subgroups. Research on individuals in the Federal Archives' Third Reich Division are usually successful when the person in question: • worked in a top-level or high-level Reich agency • was employed by the judiciary or involved in a court trial before • was of Jewish ancestry • was a victim of the first, centralized, "euthanasia" operation • was Sinti or Roma and subject to study by the Criminal Biological Research Centre of the Reich Ministry of Health • was a known member of the resistance to the Nazi regime and/or discriminated against or persecuted by the regime • was relocated as a so-called Volksdeutsche, and ethnic Germans who lived outside Germany or Austria, from central, eastern or south-eastern Europe into the Reich or the occupied eastern territories and was therefore naturalized at the central migration office or Einwandererzentralstelle • was a member of the NSDAP or one of its subgroups—in particular the SS—or an affiliated organisation, or worked in the cultural sector during the Third Reich In the search for incriminating documents that show membership in the NSDAP, SA, SS, or other Nazi organisations, we regularly use holdings previously archived in the Berlin Document Center or BDC.

    M2088 United States Army, 1942–1945

    M2088 SELECTED GERMAN DOCUMENTS FROM THE RECORDS OF HEADQUARTERS, EUROPEAN THEATER OF OPERATIONS, UNITED STATES ARMY, 1942–1945 Timothy Mulligan prepared the Introduction and arranged these records for microfilming. National Archives and Records Administration Washington, DC 2005 INTRODUCTION On the single roll of this microfilm publication, M2088, are reproduced over 900 pages of selected World War II–era German military records that were captured by U.S. Army forces and incorporated within the Records of Headquarters, European Theater of Operations, United States Army, 1942–1945, Record Group (RG) 498. The materials reproduced here constitute a part of those original German documents approved for restitution to the Bundesarchiv following the latter’s request and subsequent negotiations with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For these German documents, microfilm publication M2088 represents the record copy retained by NARA. BACKGROUND Headquarters, European Theater of Operations, United States Army (HQ ETOUSA), was established in London by General Order 3 issued by HQ ETOUSA on June 8, 1942, succeeding Headquarters, U.S. Army in the British Isles (HQ USABI), which had been established in January 1942. ETOUSA exercised operational and adminis- trative control of U.S. forces in Great Britain and coordinated the buildup of American forces and supplies there for the eventual cross-Channel invasion, and participated in operational planning. Until February 1943, ETOUSA also exercised administrative control of U.S. Army units that participated in the North African campaign. In January 1944, ETOUSA was consolidated with its former subordinate command, the Services of Supply (SOS), to facilitate the smooth operation of logistical functions.
