Thanks for the tip. I will try NormCap.

I agree about Deepl. I also find it better than Google translate.

The "double CTRL+C" function is also very handy. Doing CTRL+C twice directly inserts text into Deepl. Simple feature, but so convenient.

Hallo all,
I'm looking for rolls concerning Festung-Brigade Kreta: correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks inside T733 R9
Am I correct?
Does anyone has this to share-sell?
Many thanks in advance
Marco

Isn't T733 the NARA catalog, instead of actual rolls?

All catalogs are on sturmpanzer.com.

Use the legacy catalog until the new one is sorted out?
https://legacy.catalog.archives.gov/

I didn't detect any significant differences between the two catalogs for download speeds this week, but the legacy catalog has a fully working OCR search engine while the new one is clearly not yet capturing all the files/reels it should be with its search engine.

How exactly is rolls done in for example https://catalog.archives.gov/?

If I want to find a roll for the 61 Infantry Division and know from a website that divisions are T-315 and that the roll I want is 1022, do I in the search box on the Catalog Archives website search for "T-315 1020" or is it "T315 r1020" or "T-315 roll 1020" or something else?

There are so many results so if I write the wrong combinations of numbers and letters I'd probably go through all pages and find nothing.

I wish the archives could have been organised a bit better to make it easier to search.

Try and let us know what works best :)

Firstly, the T-series and reel has to be uploaded for the search to yield a hit. T315 is not yet uploaded.

But, the catalogs, new and legacy, do work well if the series is uploaded, one can search for T77 1066 (as an example), and this will be at the top of the results, without searching within RG 242 or within T77, just on a general search.

Note that the catalog clearly uses T77, T81 etc and not T-77, the latter yields misleading results, searching for 77 and 1066 and T separately.

In the meantime, the WWII Archive has a good sample of reels from divisions, corps and armies, which might not answer every specific prayer, but there is enough to keep one busy while we wait for NARA to get around to T312 to T315.

And if you cannot wait you could always hire http://wwiidigitalarchives.org to digitize a roll for you. They've done quite a few for me at $90 each. (Might have been increased a bit though). They typically keep a roll you order private for 6-12 months. After that they can be bought by everyone.

I did not know the information. Quite balanced and fair-play ! :thumbsup:

First movement on the new catalog: NARA have digitised and uploaded the NMT Doctors' Trial (46 reels) and Justice trial (53 reels) within RG 238. They went up in the past 24 hours maximum, so the new catalog does indeed update on weekdays and not just on Sundays.

This means a quarter of the 12 NMT trials are now digitised, and they're working more or less in order, as the Milch trial is case II, the new ones case I and III, so cases I-III of the twelve are done.

The Milch trial went up at the start of November, followed by the 70-reel NG-document series on November 14. The new additions bumped things up by 99 reels after 83 reels went up in November.The next series within RG 238 should be either more NMT trials such as the Pohl and Flick trials (38 and 42 reels respectively), the NOKW-documents (47 reels) or the NMT interrogations (91 reels), or some mix thereof.

In RG 242, T81 and T454 went up on November 6, a month ago, together 907 reels, with the previous upload being T311 on August 28, a week after T77 went up. So a two month gap between uploads, with much larger numbers of reels involved. Either we are rewarded with another RG 242 T-series before Xmas, or the wait into 2023 should not be too long for the next one to be added.
