INTRODUCTION

The Guides to German Records Microfilmed at Alexandria, Va.,

constitute a series of finding aids to National Archives micro-

film of seized records of German central, regional, and local

government agencies and of military commands and units, as well

as of the Nazi Party, its formations, affiliated associations,

and supervised organizations. The records described in the

guides were created generally during the period 1920-45.

"Langemarck," 30. SS Waffen-Grenadier-Division (Russische Nr. 2),

34. SS Freiwilligen-Grenadier-Division "Landstorm Nederland,"

Ostmuselmanische SS Division, SS Kampfgruppe Jeckeln, 2. SS

Sturmbrigade "Dirlewanger," 2. SS Infanterie-Brigade (mot), SS

Freiwilligen-Legion "Flandern," and SS Freiwilligen-Legion

"Niederlande." These records are reproduced on 24 rolls of NARS

Microfilm Publication T354, rolls 146-161 and 646-653; records

reproduced on rolls 146-161 are also included among the records of

Waffen-SS units listed in guide No. 27. Miscellaneous SS Records:

Einwandererzentralstelle, Waffen-SS, and SS-Oberabschnitte. These

records and other source material listed in unit histories give

information on the units' military activities in Poland, 1941-44;

the Soviet Union, 1941-44; Belgium, 1943-45; France and the

Netherlands, 1943-44; Italy, 1944-45; Czechoslovakia, 1944; Hungary

and Yugoslavia, 1944-45; and the retreat into Austria and Germany,

1944-45. These SS units consisted mostly of Albanian, Azerbaijani,

Belgian, Bosnian Moslem, Croatian, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Flemish,

German, Hungarian, Khirghiz, Latvian, Norwegian, Rumanian, Soviet,

Tadzhik, Tatar, Turkoman, and Uzbek volunteers (Freiwillige),

including penal personnel. For detailed information see individual

unit histories.

The guide series was initiated by the microfilming project of

the Committee for the Study of War Documents of the American

Historical Association (AHA) in cooperation with the National

Archives and the Department of the Army. With the termination

of AHA participation in July 1963, the National Archives

assumed sole responsibility for the reproduction of records

and the preparation of guides.

This guide is complementary to the series describing the

records of the German Army field commands that have been ar-

ranged by unit and filmed in discrete microfilm publications

according to their military echelon as follows: Army Groups

(Microfilm Publication T311); Armies (T312); Panzer Armies

(T313); Corps (T314); Divisions (T315); and Rear Areas,

Occupied Territories, and Others (T501).

The INDEX to guide No. 79 can be found immediately following the

instructions for its use on page 104. It is primarily an archival

index to this descriptive finding aid and only indirectly to the

microfilmed documents it describes. Any attempt to index the

massive contents of the documents themselves in the comprehensive

manner of a book index would so encumber and bloat the index as to

make it difficult to use. The master copy for this index was com-

puter formatted and printed from terms input simultaneously with

the descriptive material in the text of the guide, and was supple-

mented with references, cross-references, and explanatory sub-

headings. The full edition was then reproduced from the master

copies by photographic offset printing.

Guide No. 79 (designated part II of the Guides to the Waffen-SS)

describes the records of the 9. SS Panzer-Division "Hohenstaufen,"

10. SS Panzer-Division "Frundsberg," 11. SS Freiwilligen-Panzer-

Grenadier-Division "Nordland," 12. SS Panzer-Division "Hitler-

jugend," 13. SS Waffen-Gebirgs-Division "Handschar" (Kroatische

Nr. 1), 16. SS Panzer-Grenadier-Division "Reichsfuehrer-SS,"

17. SS Panzer-Grenadier-Division "Goetz von Berlichingen,"

19 0 SS Waffen-Grenadier-Division (Lettische Nr. 2), 20. SS

Waffen-Grenadier-Division (Estnische Nr. 1), 21. SS Waffen-

Gebirgs-Division "Skanderbeg" (Albanische Nr. 1), 23. SS

Waffen-Gebirgs-Division "Kama" (Kroatische Nr. 2), 25. SS

Waffen-Grenadier-Division "Hunyadi" (Ungarische Nr. 1), 26. SS

Panzer-Division, 27. SS Freiwilligen-Panzer-Grenadier-Division

The provenance to which each record item is attributed is the unit

headquarters that created or filed it, although a large proportion
