I am planning to go down there sometime this summer, but if I do not have time, then I will just order some files from them to be sent to my house.

However, I cannot figure out what all the microfilms contain, beside the fact that if they are Luftwaffe, OKH, todt and etc.....

When I asked the NARA for help about what specificall is in a few of there rolls, they could not help me.

I only have a limited knowledge of what some of the specific rolls contain, mostly which come from Erickson. I know that T-311/R 136 slide 7181737-60 is about Soviet operations against AGN in 1943, well i think anyway.

Here is my question to you guys. Can any of you guys help me on specific slides, rolls, pr series' that are on:

-the German buildup to Kursk?
-Kursk itself, anything down to Army level?
-Bagration, anything down to Army level?
-Hungary 44-45?
-or during the Vistula-Oder Soviet offensive, down to germany army levels?

I know this may be out of reach for some of you, but I cannot find any more places of help.

If you can help me thanks, if you can't, thanks anyway.

You need to take a look at the research guides. It is a multi-volume set. I just use the ones at the archives, although we have some at the office.

Files I reviewed and pulled material from for the Kursk project is:

Provisional Army Kempf:

T312: R50 - R56, R58, R59, R61.

(the R's is the Roll number, so we are talking about 10 rolls or so of microfim).

Fourth Panzer Army:

T313: R366, R368, R369, R371, R372, R374, R376, R382, R383, R385, R386, R387, R388, R389, R390.

There is a detailed listing of what rolls we looked at for the Kursk Data Base project and what we copied from them in the Final Report for The Battle of Kursk; Southern Front: A Validation Data Base, 27 September 1996.

It can be ordered via TDI "publications" section.

Thanks again..........

Thanks Chris, I'll see if I can have the guide sent to my house, then find the ones I want, then send for them as well.
