This is an interesting line of inquiry. The "Flensberg Group" continued to operate through 28 May. The Lage Ost maps depict both Armee and Korps HQs still in the field in northwest Germany through 21 May.

Richard - It will be worth the wait. . .it is amazing how long it takes to get a finished manuscript into the publishers' pipeline and out to the public.

If you posted this info before, apologies, but how many photos and maps will you include?

Cheers

Volume I will be released in February. Volume II will now be released in early fall, as I’m still adjusting the content/scope. I keep finding more documents to add . . . Richard – I have not come across this German author before. Both of his books were published this year and I have been working alm...

I thought I'd let those interested know that the BA-MA responded to my question on this entry and they confirmed that indeed quite a few holdings are off limits for another decade. This entry was not a mistake. So there will be plenty of untapped research material waiting for researchres to delve in...

That makes sense since I believe the Opalograph was a similar device used to make quick reporduction of orders in the field.

Can anyone help me out with this word? It comes from this sentence: "Weiterer mangel an Tagelichtpausgerät und 1 Opalograph."

Thanks,
Stephan

Can anyone provide me with a source that lists the Geräteklassen (equipment class) used by OKW ? Something simple like Geräteklassen A = XXXX. I'm looking at documents that group J,A, and L under one section and H, VW, Q, R, W, and Z under another and I'd like to decipher what they actually represen...

Richard - thanks, this does.

Thanks for all the input. I found another entry in the BA-MA catalouge that had read " Benutzungsbeschränkungen: Benutzbar ab: 2015 " except this was for a H.Gr. Weichsel record that had nothing to do with a veteran association (at least none that was apparent in the description). The only...

John - Thanks for your take. Now that you pointed out the involvement of Kameradenwerk Korps Steiner in supporting the research I guess it makes sense. I do not recall the earlier Nordland entires (pre-1945) having the same restriction. This entry seems to hold the possibility of yielding some excel...

Gentlemen, please take a look at the below BA-MA entry. Does Benutzungsbeschränkungen: Benutzbar ab: 2021 mean that this is not available until 2021 or does this mean something else? Does anyone have expereince working with this Record Group? I appreciate the assistance. Stephan Bereitstellendes Arc...

Gentlemen, I'd appreciate some confirmation or correction on my initial translation of this paragraph: Armee stellt durch sofortige Parlamentär-Rückfrage bei anglo-amerikanischen Kräften fest, ob Vorgehen aowjetische Unterstützung durch Kampf oder lediglich Raumgewinnung für spätere Interessenregelu...

Christoph -Thank you. That definition makes the rest of the text very interesting!

Here is the sentence: "Der Befehlshaber des Verteidigungsbereiche Swinemunde ist nicht ordensverleihungsberechtigt für Marinesoldaten. " The jist is that the commander isn't "qualified" to command the naval soldiers, but I want to make sure I know what that word means. Any help i...

Linkar - thanks for posting the link, however that site is hard to navigate. I'm still trying to locate the map you posted. I have found some other interesting late war documents by chance, however.

Cheers,
Stephan
