British and Canadian Archives - Interrog. of German Soldiers

[Geheime Feldpolizei]

Does anyone know about the records held at British and Canadian archives? I am trying to locate interrogations of German soldiers who were "of interest" to British and Canadian interrogators.

The National Archives (formerly the Public Record Office) at Kew, western outskirts of London, has maybe a thousand or two interrogations of German POWs. This includes a number of secretly monitored conversations between POWs with the salient points transcribed onto paper. These various reports date from 1939 to the end of the war and includes all branches of the German armed forces. There are separate files of Italian POWs interrogated.

Many of the files include highly detailed, technical interrogation reports where equipment is described, also geographical sites that could be bombed. I hope the Allied POWs were not as talkative to their German interlocutors.

The files are in Class List (Record Group) WO 208 mainly.

I have no information on interrogations by the Canadian army.
