The S.I.R. transcripts are a very large collection and come in several sub-series. They can be purchased on microfilm (Warning: 16 mm not 35 mm) from the Air Forces Historical Research Agency at Maxwell AFB in Montgomery, Alabama. But I do not think they have an index.

The originals should be at the British National Archives in London, provided they are now declassified and available to the public.

I do not know if Siegfried Knemeyer appears in these transcripts, but there most certainly are interrogation reports of one sort or another on him. He would have been a major intelligence target because of his involvement in cutting edge technical projects.
