Scope and content

Content and Assessment This collection contains the documents collected by the US military government in the Schwäbisch Gmünd district to document the affiliation and proximity of individuals to the National Socialist regime. With the goal of denazification in mind, the Americans confiscated "incriminating" records wherever they could get their hands on them: essentially the records of the NSDAP and its divisions, but to a lesser extent also those of the district offices, documents of the public prosecutor's offices as well as records of the communities or the local police authorities; in addition, there is sporadic material produced by the military government itself. By their very nature, the crewing authorities did not take into account the original registry connections when preparing the personal dossiers. Part of the evidence is attached to the files of the Spruchkammer proceedings, the remainder was kept separately and, together with the files of the Spruchkammer, was transferred to the Ludwigsburg State Archives after the end of the political cleansing. There, separated from the procedural files, it was first formed into an inventory under the signature PL 502/12 with the inexact title "NSDAP-Kreisleitung Schwäbisch Gmünd". As far as was concerned, a project financed by the Stiftung Kulturgut (Foundation for Cultural Heritage) for the cataloguing of the holdings group PL 501-523 between May 2004 and February 2007 reconstructed factual interrelationships and old registry orders, leaving the personal units, on the other hand, primarily where the external scope of the existing dossier made this appear justified. The inventory, ordered and listed by Dr. Carl-Jochen Müller, comprises 467 units = 0.9 m running time.
