Military Archive, Bundesarchiv, Fribourg

[Steve Brew]

Is anyone going to, or does anyone live near, the Military Archive of Bundesarchiv in Fribourg, Germany? Respectively, can anyone recommend a reliable, affordable researcher?

I want to obtain copies of entries from the 1(F)/123 ORB for 14 and 23 August 1942. I have identified the correct file in correspondence with the Archive, but need someone to copy the relevant pages for me.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Feel free to send me a PM, if preferred, at brew AT clients.ch (I'm in London despite my Swiss e-mail address; I used to live in Switzerland)

Thanks
Steve

Steve,

I believe you simple can order copies at the BA/MA. That's at least what I do. You can't copy on site.

cheers,

I am living near Freiburg, but will not gain acces to the files. You have to e-mail them with the questions you have and they will send it to you.

The military archive is for officers data only if you want some general data you have to ask at the so called Wast.

Hi John and Christopher

Thanks for your replies.

The Bundesarchiv basically said I need to go to a recognised researcher to get copies, and I was hoping - like in the case of the NA here in London, where they also make recommendations - that it might be possible for someone to go in and copy the few pages for me. Naturally, I can simply write to the recommended researchers, but as I don't know these people, I was hoping for a recommendation from someone who's used such services before, or perhaps to hear from some like-minded on the forum who lives nearby and may be able to gain access.

They wrote to me:

bei den Aktenbänden RL 10/385a-c handelt es sich Anlagen zum Kriegstagebuch mit Sammelmeldungen und Fernschreiben. Band a v. 1. Jan. bis 8. Sept. 1942, Band b vom 9. Sept. bis 31. Dez. 1942, Band c bezieht sich vornehmlich auf Aug. 1942 und enthält Flieger- und Startmeldungen.

Den Termin für Ihren möglichen Archivbesuch bitte ich unmittelbar mit unserem Benutzersaal (benutzersaal.freiburg@barch.bund.de) abzustimmen.

Chris, why is it that you say you will not gain access?

I am happy to reimburse someone for their time and costs, but was seeking someone that can be recommended, or has been there before and knows their way around.

Thanks
Steve
