Digitized German documents in the Russian Archives

#1

Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is the right section to put this, else please move it.
I stumbled upon a website today of which I have found nothing on this forum yet.
It's quite interesting, I'd say.
The Russian-German project to digitize German documents in the archives of the Russian Federation
As a result of the anti-Hitler coalition victory in the Second World War, documents of Nazi Germany turned up in many countries, including Russia. Largest collections of German documents are kept in the Federal archives of the Russian Federation (State Archive of the Russian Federation (GARF), the Russian State Military Archive (RGVA) and the Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History (RGASPI)), and in the Central Archive of the Russian Ministry of Defense (TsAMO). The project to digitize German documents was initiated by the administration of the Russian President in 2011. It is executed by the Russian Historical Society, the Ministry of Defense and the Federal archival agency with support from the German Historical Institute in Moscow. Coordination committee, overseeing the digitization project, is headed by S.E. Naryshkin, the Chairman of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation.
Enjoy!

It was mentioned a few months ago (here).

Also, the bulk of the material has been made pdf and put on P2P network - by far the easiest way to download it all.

Absolutely impressive. A sea of OKW, OKH and Heeresgruppe Mitte files! And in full colour!
