Jacorb Posted 8 January , 2019 Share Posted 8 January , 2019 Hello, recently I have been looking for info on a POW camp in Germany. The part I am looking into is where is says Central- Nachwise- Buiro, at least I think it does. I am putting an image. Wondering if this is where the camp is or something else. Thanks for any info.

Mark1959 Posted 8 January , 2019 Share Posted 8 January , 2019 Think it means something like Central Records Office. But my German is very schoolboy and my schooldays were a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotonmate Posted 8 January , 2019 Share Posted 8 January , 2019 It is a file with a series of PA references 32650 to 32938. If you go to the Red Cross website where this copy came from you can scroll down the pages and see that there are bunches of forms from different Camps. For instance 32650 shows camp HAMMELBURG and a few pages later some from SOLTAU etc etc. So likely a War Ministry file (hence Kriegsministerium).

charlie2 Posted 9 January , 2019 Share Posted 9 January , 2019 The image you have posted is the cover to the list number 2818 sent from the Central Verification Office of the Royal Prussian War Ministry in Berlin to the Red Cross. It contains names of the dead and PoWs interned in various camps. The Red Cross have added their file numbers at the bottom. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
