Phil, that first document is fantastic stuff!!! Do you know the 20.2.1944 order by Himmler it refers to? Also, what does the abbreviation RdErl in the title stand for?

The Befehlsblatt (actually both of them you've posted) is also great! Though I have death cards of individuals who were killed by the "Terrorflieger", I had no idea that entire departments issued that kind of notice. In addition to the presence of women, it shows the scale of the casualties on the whole. As a Befehlsblatt, I assume it's a small poster-sized (or regular paper-sized) notice?

More? :D

Best,

Hi Vikki
It is from microfilm from the archives in Washington and it comes out as A4 size sheet
I do not have the page printed off covering the order mentioned. My friend and co-author Georges Jerome has the film at the moment. Perhaps a private mesage to him might help.
How about a list of lost house passes for various Stapo SD offices

Ouch!!! What do you suppose happened to you, if you worked for the Staatspolizei, and "misplaced" your Ausweis? 8O

Actually, about half the names on the list of people who've lost their passes are women, surely an inordinate percentage compared to their overall numbers....?

Thanks again, very much, for the information! The women's presence on the rolls is interesting, but the documents themselves are fascinating!

I actually have a copy of 'Women of the gestapo' by richard baxter
there is no publishing date on it, but the foreword is dated 1943
it is obviously cheap wartime publication on recycled paper and linen board cover and of 95 pages only
