Tne Guides to_ German Records Microfilmed at Alexandria, Va.
constitute a series of finding aids to National Arcnives micro-
film of seized records of German central, regional, and local
government agencies and of military commands anu units, as
well as of tne Nazi Party, its formations, affiliated associa-
tions, and supervised organizations. The records described
in the guiues were created generally during the period 1920-45.
The guide series was initiated by the microfilming project of
the Committee for the Study of War Documents of the American
Historical Association (AilA) in cooperation with tne National
Archives and tne Department of the Army. With the termination
of AHA participation in July 1963, the National Arcnives
assumed sole responsibility for the reproduction of records
and the preparation of guides.
This guide is one of many in the series describing the records
of tne German army field commands that have been arrangeu by
unit and filmed in discrete microfilm publications according
to their military echelon as follows: Army Groups (Microfilm
Publication T311J, Armies (T312), Panzer Armuss (J315) , Corps
(T314), Divisions (T515), and Rear Areas, Occupied Territories,
and Others (TSUI).
Guide No. 7u (designated Part X of tne Guides to German Army
DivisionsParts I-IX oein^ Guides 41, 45, and 65-6y) describes
the records of divisions numbered 221 tnrougn 255 reproduced on
130 rolls of Microfilm Publication T315. The records include
material on formation, training, and border security in Germany
in 1939, 1941, and 1943, and in Norway in Iy42; the campaign in
Poland in 1939; assembly, occupation and security duty, training,
and antipartisan operations in Poland, 1959-40; the campaign in
Belgium, tne Netherlands, and France in 1940; occupation and
security duty and coastal defense in iielgium and France, 1940-41;
assembly, occupation duty, and training in Poland, 1940-41; the
invasion of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia in 1941; training in
Rumania in 1941; the campaign against tne Soviet Union, 1941-44;
occupation and security duty and coastal defense in Norway in
1942; and coastal defense and training in Belgium and France
in 1943.
The INDEX to Guide No. 70 can be found immediately following
the instructions for its use on page 160. The master copy for
this index was computer formated and printed from terms input
simultaneously with the descriptive material in the text of
the guide, and was supplemented with references, cross-refer-
ences, and explanatory subheadings. The full edition was then
reproduced from the master copies by photographic offset printing.
The provenance to which each record item is attributed is the
unit headquarters that created or filed it, although a large
proportion of the items had in fact already been retired to de-
positories of the Heeresarchiv Potsdam, wnere accession numbers
were assigned and stamped or written on the covers in the order
received, and wnere the records were then cataloged by unit.
Tne records reached tne United States still rougnly arranged by
unit, since Allied intelligence officers retained this systera,
taking advantage of the circumstance that the original Potsdam
catalogs were acquired along with tne seized field command records.
The AHA and the National Archives also followed this arrangement
in tneir joint and separate microfilm projects, altnough some
record items appear out of sequence because they were still classi-
fied or temporarily unavailable at the time the unit records were
filmed. This also accounts for the occasional break in continuity
of roll numbers in the guides where those unit records filmed later
on nigher roll numbers appear out of item number sequence at the
end of tae division entries. Record items not yet retired to the
Heeresarchiv depositories at the time of capture were assigned
accession numbers above 75,000 by American custodians in extension
of the original Potsdam numbering scheme.

Considerable information on the fate of German military archives
during World 'Var II, including documentation of efforts to recon-
struct records destroyed in several wartime fires, may be found
in the files of the Chef dcs Hecresarchivs, OKII, filmed as Micro-
film Publication T7S, rolls 1-33, and described in Guide No. 12
of this series.
Although the records of these divisions have been filned selec-
tively, the war journals (Kriegstagebuecher) and activity reports
(Taetigkeitsberichte) and their annexes (Anlagen) of the opera-
tions (la) and intelligence (Ic) staff sections, wherever avail-
able, were filmed in their entirety. A few records of the supply,
administrative, medical, personnel, and judge advocate staff
sections assigned to division headquarters were filmed for those
units whose operations and intelligence files were incomplete
or missing. Map annexes (Kartenanlagen), consisting exclusively
of large maps difficult to put on microfilm, were generally
omitted; maps interspersed among and integrated with the tex-
tual records were filmed in several overlapping sections, which,
along with the loss of color markings, detracts considerably
from their value and ease of use.
A unit history in tabular form precedes the file item listing for
each division. The DATE column gives the opening date or first
date on a pertinent document for the LOCATION and ACTIVITY given
in the next two columns, and the timespan extends to the next
date given. The CHAIN OF COMMAND column gives the names of the
commanding officers and superior units, with timespans for each,
where available.
These unit histories are based on information found in the records,
in the Potsdam catalog, on contemporary German daily situation
maps, and in manuscripts of the Foreign Military Studies scries.
They supplement or correct the brief histories, based on the
Order of_ Battle of_ the German Army (War Department, Washington,
D.C., March 1945) which were filmed at the beginning of every
IV
roll reproducing the records of each unit. A data card describing
each record item was also microfilmed immediately preceding the
folder it describes, and the cards for all folders on one roll
of film were again filmed as a finding aid at the beginning of
that roll. The information contained on these cards was used
as a reference in compiling descriptive entries for the guide,
but considerable revision was undertaken because so many of
these card descriptions were prepared hastily to keep pace with
the filming and restitution schedules.
The CONTENTS column on the pages containing records descriptions
provides (a) the abbreviation of the staff section that originated
the document, (b) the title appearing on the folder cover, and
(c) additional information providing a general description of the
contents. The inclusive dates of the file item are given under a
DATE column; the ITEM NO. is the identification symbol given on
the original folder; the ROLL refers to the sequence of the film
in Microfilm Publication T315; and 1ST FRAME gives the frame
number of the first page of the file item.
The original records, filmed and unfilmed, have been returned to
the Federal Republic of Germany for deposit in the Bundesarchiv-
Militaerarchiv in Freiburg. The master negatives of Microfilm
Publication T315 have been deposited with the Publications Sales
Branch (NEPS), National Archives (GSA), Washington, DC 20408, from
which copies of specific rolls may be purchased. Reference copies
may be consulted in the microfilm reading room of the National
Archives. For suggestions for citing microfilm, see page xiv.
The descriptions in this guide were prepared by Anton F. Grassl,
Petronilla Hawes, and Donald E. Spencer. Mrs. Hawes also pre-
pared the input data for the computer. Edward D. Thomas of the
General Services Administration was the programmer-analyst.
The computer-input scheme, a modification of the SPINDEX program,
was devised by the undersigned.

 SUGGESTIONS FOR CITING MICROFILM OF CAPTURED GERMAN AND RELATED RECORDS
IN THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF THE UNITED STATES

The National Archives and Records Service is frequently asked to provide recommendations regarding information to be included in footnotes
or other references to records among its holdings. The following suggestions should serve this purpose and also help our staff in locating
the records thus cited.
Records
Because of the great variety and complexity of some archival material, there are no convenient models that would be applicable to all records.
The initial citation, however, might consist of those of the following elements applicable in each instance: item, file unit, or subseries,
series title, originating office (and the administrative units of which that office is a part) name of collection or record group number
and title, and depository. Except for placing the cited item first, there is no general agreement on the sequence of the remaining elements
in the citation. Publishers, professional journals, and graduate faculties all prescribe their own style. Whatever sequence is adopted, how-
ever, should be used consistently throughout the same work. If in doubt, the researcher should confer with an archivist regarding elements
that may be necessary to identify adequately specific records being cited.
Microfilm Publications
Citation to records reproduced in National Archives microfilm publications should provide, in general, the same information as suggested above,
but with sufficient additional information to identify the particular microfilm publication as well as roll and frame numbers, if applicable.
Microfilm publications of foreign records seized during World War II involve such peculiarities of identification that largely individualized
suggested systems of citation have been developed for them. The following examples suggest both a form of initial citation and of subsequent
citations of the same document for each of five major microfilm projects reproducing captured German and related records; the form for the
bibliography, which is not illustrated below, could be some appropriate modification of the initial citation, but should also include the
National Archives record group title and number, and the title and number of the microfilm publication, e.g., National Archives Collection
of World War II War Crimes Records (Nuernberg), Record Group 238, U.S. v. Otto Ohlendorf, et al., Microfilm Publication M895, 38 rolls; National
Archives Collection of Foreign Records Seized 1941- , Record Group 242, Records of the Reich Ministry of Economics, Microfilm Publication
T71, 148 rolls.
1. Captured records microfilmed at Alexandria, Virginia.
Initial citation:
CdS/Amt IVA1, Ereignismeldung UdSSR, Nr. 194, 20. April 1942, EAP 173-a-10/22a, National Archives Microfilm Publication T175, roll 235,
frames 2724202-268
Subsequent citations:
Ereignismeldung UdSSR, Nr. 194, T175/235/2724209-10.
Initial citation:
I. AK, la, "KTB Nr. 2," Aug.-Oct. 1939, E201/1, National Archives Microfilm Publication T314, roll 34, first frame 389.
Subsequent citations:
KTB 2, Aug 17, 1939, T314/34/397.
Item numbers such as EAP 173-a-10/22a, or OKW 1015 are optional and serial numbers unnecessary. Frames are sometimes unnumbered.

xiv
2. Foreign Ministry Archives and records of the Reichskanzlei filmed at Whaddon Hall.
Initial citation:
Ambassador in Madrid (Stohrer) to Foreign Ministry, Berlin, Dec. 9, 1940, German Foreign Ministry Archives, Serial 136, frames
D674515-516; National Archives Microfilm Publication T120, roll 146.
Subsequent citations:
Stohrer to GFM, 136/D674516, T120/146.
Initial citation:
"Verwaltung besetzter Gebiete in Serbien, 15.11.16-31.7.17," SA Reel 83, National Archives Microfilm Publication T136, roll 83, frames
17-24.
Subsequent citations:
SA/T136/83/19.
The serial number is the essential identification, whether the serial is of the interchangeable unlettered or H serials, or of the B,C,F,K,L
and M serials. The terms reel, container or roll are acceptable variations, with the last preferred by the National Archives. With the
Tripartite Project microfilm, National Archives Microfilm Publication T120, it is imperative to distinguish between serial and roll numbers,
and the Catalog of Files and Microfilm of the German Foreign Ministry Archives, 1920-1945, 4 vols., has as a supplement to each volume, a
National Archives serial-roll conversion list. The Public Records Office in London uses the same serial and frame numbers, although not
always the same roll numbers, and the microfilm publication symbols GFM 2-5 instead of T120, to identify the Tripartite Project microfilm.
The other Whaddon Hall microfilm projects use the same number for serial and roll, as the SA (Saint Antony's College project) serial example,
given above, indicates; the National Archives has substituted microfilm publication number for project symbols.
3. Records from the German Naval Archives microfilmed for the United States Navy at the Admiralty, London.
Initial citation:
"Luftschiffangriff auf England, 19-20.10.1917," Az. Kr. Op. Nordsee, 97, PG 64856, TA-108D, National Archives Microfilm Publication T1022,
roll 650.
Subsequent citations:
PG 64856, T1022/650.
PG number is the essential record item number; either the TA number or the T1022 roll number is sufficient microfilm identification.
There are no frame numbers in this microfilm publication.
4. Heeresarchiv Potsdam records microfilmed at the National Archives.
Initial citation:
Groener to Alarich von Gleichi Papers of General Wilhelm Groener (Groener Nachlass) at the Bundesarchiv Koblenz, National Archives
Microfilm Publication Ml37, roll 7.
Subsequent citations:
Groener to Gleich, Ml37/7.

The National Archives and Records Service will appreciate

receiving copies of books and articles based in whole or
in part on records in its custody. Such copies should be
directed to the Library, NARS, fiSA, Washington, DC 20403.

I N D E X

This index was computer formated and printed from terms input simultaneously with the descrip-
tive material in the foregoing text of the guide. The ultimate objective of producing cumula-
tive indexes dictated certain limitations on the format, structure, and nature; further compli-
cations were created by the need to cope simultaneously with two languages, abbreviations, page
location of descriptive materials, and microfilm roll and frame locations of the records
described.
Format
Economy of space and ease of reading seem sufficient justification for the asymmetry of the
broad horizontal layout of the descriptive text of the guide and the narrow vertical format
of the index.
Language
While the index does not pretend to bilinguality, it refers to the records in their original
German terminology as well as in generally accepted English equivalents, using the original
German word or its abbreviation as the index term and the English word as a cross-reference
term. For purposes of automation, the diphthong was used instead of the Umlaut, so that
BUffel becomes Bueffel, for example.
Geographical Terms
Geographical terms are mainly rendered in the native language, but for transliteration from
the Cyrillic alphabet the English rendition found in the NIS (National Intelligence Survey)
Gazetteer (Office of Geography, Department of the Interior, Washington, 1955-64) was used,
rather than the German-language transliteration found in the records.
Cross-References
In order .to take advantage of the cumulative and repetitive capabilities of automatic data
processing in compiling future individual and multiple guide indexes, cross-references of
broad or universal application were preferred, although this sometimes results in general
references to types of entries for which there may be no specific examples in the index of
a particular guide; e.g., MOUNTAIN UNITS, GERMAN, gives cross-references to index headings
under which all echelons of such units may be found, but there is no specific entry in this
index for the only German mountain army, AOK 20 GEB; another example; LUXEMBOURG is followed
by a see also reference to specific populated places and geographical terms, although there
are no specific Luxembourgian places or terms listed in this index.
 161

Units and Commands

In order not to encumber the index with multiplicity of additional entries, the records
of the units described in this guide were not listed separately under the unit number.
Instead there is only a reference to the first page of the unit history, which lists all
of the rolls on which that unit's records are reproduced, and which is followed immedi-
ately by an itcm-by-iten listing of such records.

All of the field command unit designations are indexed in official or recognizable German
abbreviations, with the exception of the corps, where infantry, armored, mountain, and
special corps are all grouped under the prefix AK (Armeekorps), followed by the specific
unit name or number and a suffix denoting the type. Since the computer sorts Roman numerals
alphabetically rather than numerically, the conventional Herman sequence for a corps desig-
nation was reversed and the number converted to Arabic, e.g., XVIII AK becomes AK leS. The
"Item No." for all field command record items is a combination of the last designation of the
provenance unit witli the accession number assigned during World 'Var II by the Ileeresarchiv
Potsdan.
Span Dates and First Frames
The years, nonths, and days under the "Dates" heading are the span dates of the entire
record iten (or unit history) listed under the corresponding "Item" heading, rather than
the specific date or dates of each index entry. Similarly the "1st Frane" is the first
frame of the entire record item, rather than the exact frame location '.here reference to
that index entry begins. An attest to give specific dates or an exact nicrofilu frame
location for each entry would produce an index cumbersome to the point of uselessness as
a finding aid. It seems more purposeful and economical of time for the researcher to
proceed in sequence from index term to unit history and/or to the record description, then
to the microfilm roll and first franc reproducing the record item, arid thence to searching
out the particular frame or frames containing the specific reference indicated by the index
entry. Such "narrowing down" or "bracketing-in" is, of course, a customary researcli practice.

Suggestions for Improvement

Since automatic data processing is especially efficient for updating or revising data, we
hope to evolve improved computer indexes for arcliival material. The preparation of individual
indexes for subsequent Alexandria guides will hopefully be a proving ground for revising and
indexing the entire series, and suggestions for improvement are invited. A possible and
desirable byproduct of such a revision would be an open-ended edition, of which individual
guides or the entire series would be available to all at reasonable prices.

 INSTRUCTIONS POR ORDERING M1CROHLM

National Archives Microfilm Publication T31S, Rolls 1665-1794

Records of German Field Commands: Divisions (221st-255th), Part X

Microfilm copies of one or more rolls of microfilm may be purchased at the current price of $12 a
roll. This price will remain in effect until June 30, 1975, and includes postage or shipping costs
on orders sent by surface mail within the United States or to Mexico or Canada and on small orders
sent to other countries. Additional costs for air mail shipment will be quoted on request. Orders
of 40 rolls or more sent to foreign countries other than Canada or Mexico are subject to an added
55 shipping charge.
Checks or Money orders for microfilm should accompany the order. They should be made payable to
the General Services Administration (NEPS) and should be sent to the Cashier, MARS, GSA, Washington,
DC 2040G. Persons ordering microfilm from outside the United States or its possessions should
make their remittance by international money order or check drawn in United States dollars on a
bank in the United States and payable to the General Services Administration (NEPS). Each order
should specify Microfilm Publication T315, the roll number or numbers, and the price.
The National Archives microfilm publication program is financed from a trust fund established by
the National Archives Trust Fund Board Act (44 U.S.C. 2307). The act permits the preparation and
reproduction of source materials for a price covering their cost plus 10 percent. Proceeds fron
the sale of microfilm are deposited in the trust fund account from which microfilm expenses are
paid. The excess above costs is used to expand reproduction facilities, explore new techniques
of reproduction, and microfilm additional records.

The current price of microfilm reflects the second general price increase in 25 years. It is the
policy of the National Archives to raise prices only when it is necessary to maintain the solvency
of the revolving fund. The increased prices at this time are brought on by increases in the cost
of film stock and chemicals, boxes and reels, and postage, as well as by salaries. A fixed price
per roll has been established because most of the costs of reproducing and selling microfilm are
the same for all rolls of film, regardless of length, and the establishment of such a price permits
a substantial saving in order-processing costs.
