This collection consists of a large, continuous alphabetical register of individuals recorded by German police, Gestapo, SS, and judicial authorities during the National Socialist period.
Each entry typically includes:
- Surname and given name
- Date of birth
- Place of birth / residence
- Archival or case reference numbers, often in the format:
- “8 Js …” (Justizsachen = criminal case file numbers)
- “SABI …” (likely Staatsanwaltschaft Berlin or associated prosecutorial index)
- “K I n – V”, “BV”, “Vorb” (Gestapo / SD shorthand for divisions, case preliminaries, or special procedures)
- Occasionally court or police districts (Berlin, Hamburg, Breslau, Königsberg, etc.)
The file does not contain narrative reports, correspondence, or trial transcripts. It is strictly a register or index of persons, most likely compiled to track cases, investigations, or surveillance subjects.
The arrangement appears alphabetical by surname, covering a very wide range of individuals — German citizens, but also persons from occupied territories (Poland, Ukraine, Czechoslovakia, etc.), as indicated by Slavic and Jewish surnames.
Arrangement:
Alphabetical by surname. Entries are single-line registers with abbreviated metadata.
Conditions of Access and Use:
Open for research. Contains sensitive personal data relating to individuals persecuted or monitored during the Third Reich.
Disclaimer
This file is presented for historical and research purposes only. It contains original documents produced under the National Socialist regime in Germany (1933–1945). The inclusion of names, case references, and official terminology reflects the content of the source material and does not imply endorsement of the views, policies, or actions of the creators.
Condition Note
The file survives in good overall condition as a digitised copy, with all 1,291 pages present and in sequence. The original source was typewritten, and most entries are clear and legible, though some pages show minor fading, uneven ink density, or stamp bleed-through typical of mid-20th-century carbon copies. Margins and spacing are consistent, suggesting it derived from an official bound or microfilmed register. OCR conversion is imperfect due to font and quality issues, but the underlying text is generally decipherable with close reading. In archival terms, the material is in a stable and serviceable state for research, requiring only contextual aids (e.g. abbreviation glossaries) rather than conservation.
