This is yet another series of interrogations, on top of the earlier M1270, which available for free on fold3.com.

I should have noted M1270 is already on there, but yes - NMT rather than IMT interrogations, over 10x the number, the key difference is most of the M1019 interrogation transcripts are in German rather than simultaneously interpreted to English as was the case at IMT behind the scenes. See Richard Overy, Interrogations, for more on the IMT interrogations.

This leaves from RG 238 microfilms - 276 reels to go, plus a microfiche card series
- (part of the) Goebbels diaries on 7 reels, lacking a T or M number on the web page about war crimes trial records
- T301, 164 reels of NI-documents
- T1119, 47 reels of NOKW-documents
- M978, Guertner diaries, 3 reels
- M1278, M1291, M1397, register cards to NI, NG, NOKW docs, 13 reels
- M891, US vs Friedrich Flick, 42 reels
- M1137 finding aid for IMT, 73 microfiche cards

Everything else has been uploaded, albeit some were done by fold3.com years back.

There are 14 larger cases from the Dachau Tribunal in RG 153/549 (page is unclear how they break down), totalling 86 reels and 24 microfiche cards. T1021, 20 reels, was done by fold3.com years ago, and there are 5 reels of the Dachau Tribunal Review board opinions (M1217) which are already online at the University of Marburg's website on war crimes trials. Plus 2 series of 314 reels of IMT Tokyo for the Far East in RG 331.

I think most would prefer RG 242, T78 now!
