This dossier contains a large body of German bureaucratic and administrative records from the National Socialist period, spanning the years 1939 to 1945. The documents reflect the workings of civil and military offices within the Third Reich, including official correspondence, directives, reports, legal decrees, memoranda, and tabulated data.
The material illustrates the bureaucratic machinery of the regime in matters of state security, foreign relations, citizenship policy, police and security service (SD, Gestapo) reporting, economic controls, and church–state relations. A recurring theme is the treatment of minority populations, particularly Jews of Polish nationality, and the bureaucratic measures leading to denationalisation, expulsion, and deportation.
The compilation is typical of captured-records collections: consecutive but heterogeneous in content, with no clear originating order preserved. It offers insight into the day-to-day administrative functioning of the Nazi state, from internal memoranda to policy coordination with allied or occupied territories.
Disclaimer:
This file contains original documents produced by the bureaucratic apparatus of the National Socialist regime between 1939 and 1945. The materials may include offensive language, antisemitic content, discriminatory policies, or references to persecution and violence. They are preserved here solely for their historical and research value. Inclusion in the Irving Collection does not imply agreement with, or endorsement of, the views expressed in these documents.
Condition Note:
The file consists of 799 scanned pages taken from microfilmed or photocopied German wartime records. Overall legibility is good: typewritten text is generally clear, and official stamps, signatures, and marginalia are visible. Some pages show issues common to archival reproductions, including faint or blurred type, uneven contrast, bleed-through from reverse sides, cropped margins, and occasional shadowing from the original binding or microfilm reel. Despite these limitations, the majority of the text remains fully readable, making the collection suitable for scholarly research.
