In April we published a searchable index of the Nazi Party membership files. Now we are following up with a database of personnel files of the Sturmabteilung (SA) and Schutzstaffel (SS), which were responsible for some of the most horrendous crimes in German history. www.zeit.de/wissenschaft...

The files come from digitized microfilms in the US National Archives and digitized records in the German Federal Archives. You’ll find lots of interesting stuff, from SA/SS membership cards to criminal and medical records to hundreds of pages of Heinrich Himmlers tax statements.
