My Research Files Available

I am making my research notes available on Zotero.  There is a wide range of material regarding both Nazi Germany and the German Democratic Republic. The notes are from both printed sources and archives I have visited.

Feel free to use my notes in your research. I would appreciate appropriate credit.

Völkischer Beobachter 1938-1945 On-line

 That amazingly valuable Austrian effort to digitize the nation’s newspapers has added the    Völkischer Beobachter for the years 1938-1945.

Digitized Nazi Propaganda Sources

I am sometimes asked to include the German originals on the site.  That would be a lot of extra work, and I am primarily aiming the site at those who cannot read German or at scholars who will be able to secure the original materials should they be needed.

However, increasing amounts of relevant material are appearing on-line.  The Austrians are digitizing long runs of newspapers.  Various Nazi periodicals are available. I often find books digitized.

To help people find such sources, I am beginning a new page that provides links to digitized Nazi propaganda material. I am including only scans from originals.  Places like archive.org have considerable material that has either been typed from the originals or scanned by OCR methods — and these are not always dependable.

I am sure there is a great deal more than I have listed — and more will keep coming.  I’ll welcome suggestions for additions.
