NATIONAL ARCHIVES COLLECTION OF FOREIGN RECORDS SEIZED
RECORD GROUP 242
The microfilm publications in this record group are listed below according to the place where the records were filmed. Nearly all the original paper records have been returned to their respective countries of origin. A relatively small number of these papers may have been of private origin, but the fact of their seizure is not believed to divest their original owners of any literary property rights in them. Anyone, therefore, who publishes them in whole or in part without permission may be held liable for infringement of property rights. For suggestions on citing captured German and related records, see pages 14-16 below.

NATIONAL ARCHIVES COLLECTION OF WORLD WAR II WAR CRIMES RECORDS
RECORD GROUPS 153, 238 AND 338
The United States conducted war crimes trials in Europe under three jurisdictions: the International Military Tribunal (IMT) at Nuernberg (RG 238), U.S. military tribunals at Nuernberg (RG 238) and U.S. Army courts (RG 153 & RG 338). The Nuernberg trial records include transcripts of proceedings, prosecution and defense exhibits, interrogation records, document books and court papers, including official court files, minute books, order and judgment books and clemency petitions. In addition, the Nuernberg trial records include the prosecution document series, from which most of the prosecution exhibits and some defense exhibits were drawn. Descriptive pamphlets (DP) and Special Lists (SL) are noted for many of the listed microfilm publications.
Records of The International Military Tribunal (IMT) at Nuernberg (RG 238).

Records of U.S. Army War Crimes Trials in Europe
War crimes trial records for Germany were initially also collected and generated by the U.S. 3rd and 7th Armies, and later by special war crimes sections of the Judge Advocate General (JAG), Europe. Because these sections sent reports and other materials to Washington, some of the same records are in RG 153, Records of the Judge Advocate General (Army), which has proven to be a useful source for filling gaps in the RG 338 records. Most of the records filmed in the publications below come from RG 338 rather than RG 153, however.

Records of War Crimes Trials in the Far East
War crimes trial records relating to Japanese aggression in the Far East were created and assembled by a variety of jurisdictions in 1945-1949, including the International Military Tribunal for the Far East. Most of these records are found in Record Group 331, Records of Allied Operational and Occupation Headquarters, World War II, and are described else-where. Both microfilm publications listed below belong to Record Group 238.

SUGGESTIONS FOR CITING NATIONAL ARCHIVES MICROFILMOF CAPTURED GERMAN AND RELATED RECORDS
Records
Because of the great variety and complexity of archival material, there are no convenient models that apply to all records. The initial citation, however, might consist of the following elements, as applicable: item, file unit or subseries, series title, originating office (and its higher administrative office), 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 styles. Whatever sequence is adopted should be used consistently throughout the same work, however. If in doubt, the researcher should confer with an archivist regarding elements necessary to cite records adequately. Microfilm Publications Citations of records reproduced in National Archives microfilm publications should generally provide the same information suggested above, to include publication, roll and frame numbers, as applicable. The following examples suggest possible initial and subsequent citations of the same document for each of five major microfilm projects reproducing captured German and related records.
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, frame 2724202.
Subsequent Citations: Ereignismeldung UdSSR, Nr. 194, T175/235/2724209-10.Initial Citation: I. AK, Ia, "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.
Page 15
Item numbers such as EAP 173-a-10/22a or OKW 1015 are optional and serial numbers are unnecessary. Frames are sometimes unnumbered.
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/D674518, 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 or M serials. The terms "reel", "container" or "roll" are acceptable variations; "roll" is the term prefered by the National Archives. When citing the Tripartite Project microfilm, NA Microfilm Publication T120, it is imperative to distinguish between serial and roll numbers. The four-volume Catalog of Files and Microfilm of the German Foreign Ministry Archives, 1920-1945 has a serial-roll conversion list as a supplement for each volume. The Public Record Office (PRO) in London uses the same serial and frame numbers, though not always the same roll numbers, and the microfilm publication symbols GFM 2-5 instead of T120 for the Tripartite Project. The other Whaddon Hall microfilm projects use the same roll and serial numbers, as the "SA" (Saint Antony's College Project) serial example shown above indicates. The National Archives has substituted a microfilm publication number for project symbols.
3. Records from the German Naval Archives microfilmed by the United States Navy, Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) at the Admiralty, London.
Initial Citation: "Schlachtschiff 'Bismarck' nachträglich entzifferte englische Funksprüche," 23.5. - 27.5.1941, PG 47893, National Archives Microfilm Publication T1022, roll 2791. Subsequent Citation: "Schlachtschiff 'Bismarck'," T1022/2791/PG 47893.
Initial Citation: "Seeschlacht vor dem Skagerrak," 31.5. - 1.6.1916, Az. Kr. Op. Nordsee 61, PG 64. Subsequent Citations: "Seeschlacht von dem Skagerrak," T1022/347-348, 443-445/PG 64808-64813.
The PG number is the essential record item number; NARA Microfilm Publication T1022 plus the roll number is sufficient for identification. The original U.S. Navy microfilm designations, e.g. "T-1"or "TA-1" for each roll have been replaced by the T1022 roll number. There are no frame numbers in this microfilm publication.
4. Heeresarchiv-Potsdam Records Microfilmed at the National Archives.
Initial Citation: Groener to Alarich von Gleich, Papers of General Wilhelm Groener (Groener Nachlass), Bundesarchiv-Koblenz, National Archives Microfilm Publication M137, roll 7. Subsequent Citations: Groener to Gleich, M137/7.5. National Archives Microfilm of Nuernberg War Crimes Trial Records.
