If so, they are not to be found in NARA T-177, T-321, T-405 or T-971, these being the only NARA Record Group 242 microcopies with Luftwaffe material. I've been through every roll, beginning in 1979. There may be some stray files in the NASM Garber collection, but those are difficult to access because you have to go there and spend a day going through the card index to the films. There are several researchers I know who are working that material right now (2009). One of them told me several weeks ago on his return from Suitland that the pickings are slim. What a lot of researchers don't know is that probably 40% to 50% of the captured Luftwaffe records were never microfilmed. They were held by AHB/Air Ministry and then returned to the BRD in the 1960's and 1970's as is. No filming.
