The documents of the central offices of the Wehrmacht and the army command, of the services and the troops of the army below division level as well as of the air force and the Waffen SS are largely lost. The collections from the period up to 1945 have suffered considerable losses due to the effects of war. The intermediate archives for the Federal Ministry of Defense are also located in Freiburg. Extensive personal documents on members of military formations or associations resembling military formations are also located at the Federal Archives’ branch in Berlin-Reinickendorf. Numerous private papers of military personnel complement the official records. Among them are archival documents from the Prussian Army, the imperial navy, the imperial protection forces and Freikorps, the Reichswehr and the Wehrmacht, the National People’s Army and the Bundeswehr (Federal Defense). At our branch in Freiburg we keep more than 50 km of files of German armed forces going back to the time of the founding of the Reich.
