However, it has been 23 or 24 years since I last worked with the collection and in the intervening period it is possible that a microfilm copy might have been made and that sent to Freiburg. But I don't think so, otherwise I would have heard something about it.

Good evening Larry and greenemonster !

The German files in question for this case are KU 3456 and KU 2456(????).

Greenemonster, you can order a copy of this German files in original language at the National Archives at College Park, MA. There should be no problem to receive them from there. All other infos gave Larry in his post.

All the best !
