,Introduction
The Deutsches Auslands Institut, hereafter referred to as
DAr, was an agency of the Foreign Organization, (Auslands
Organization-AO) of the Nazi Party and an instrument of the
Gennan war machine.
Approximately 250 cases containing the archives of the DAI
were opened.
A spot check was made on folders containing
correspondence, index-cards, propaganda material, and voluminous
records of so-called 'Gennan national groups abroad (Volksgruppen).
It appears that the 250 cases opened do not contain the
complete archives, as a great part of the correspondence with the
l{inistries of Har and Propaganda, the extensive cOIllllTI..mications'
with confidence men (V-Leute) and agents abroad, which is indicated
in correspondence, as well as about 15,000 maps,which, according
'to the statements' in the folders, were frequently used by the
\;Tehnnacht, seems to be missing.
The material, however, which was screened and from which
documents were selected is sufficient to prove tha.t:
a)
the DAr was a Nazi Party agency, camouflaged as a
"cultural". institution in order to work more effectively
abroadr
b)
the DAI worked, as a vital arm for the Ministry of
Propaganda;
c)
the'DAI served as ,an important intelligence center for
the German High Command by supplying maps, trust'tforthy
V-Leute abroad and furnishing other vital information.
(
�II.
Origin and Furnose of the DAr
The DAI was founded 'during Horld l',!ar I as a propaganda
agency of Imperial Germany in order to arouse support for the
"Fatherland" and after the war' to use Germans throughout the
world to serve as propagandists for the resurrection of a power
ful "Greater Germany."
During the 1920's the DAr was financed with contributions by
big industrialists, export firms and shipping lines.

The
administrators in the DAr were all skillful in the pan-German
cause and most of them were members of the Nazi party.
In this
connection see document DAr 120/1 which states:

institutes of higher learning (Document Dar 120/7).'

Members of the Institutwere constantly lecturing on
political and geo-political questions.
They lectured to party

this.
In a letter from the President of the Institut to the Reichs
statthalter in Sachsen, dated B November 19.39, the Institut st,a.ted:
liThe DAr belongs, as is recognized by superior offices of the
state, to those organizations of the public law" whose work is
important to the prosecution of the war, under the provisions
of the declaration by the FUhrer on 28 August 19.39. As I
have already stated orally and may confidentially repeat here,
the tasks important to the prosecution of the war that are
carried out by the Institute are" above all information and
press service, counter-espionage activities, intelligence of
all types, delivery and partly, ne,i production of map material,
exploitation of statistics of nationalities (Volkstumsstatistik)
and the manifold card files of the Institute and its affiliated
research offices. II -DAr .3/7

Similar statements are contained in a letter to the Reichs
ministery for Propaganda (D,r\.I 106/9).

Even prior to the outbreak of hostilities the services of the
DAIwere used by the Armed Forces and their affiliated offices.

During the war, the DAr be.came a center of activity for the
Armed Forces.
Historical reports were prepared, exhibits on war were
opened, racial groups transmigration supervised, maps and statistics
were furnished, over-seas propaganda was intensified, .and lectures
were increased (DiU 125/1).
Lt. Kappe, requested for OK'tT, on 25
April 1941, the preparation of a special map of the U.S.A. showing

Conclusion
The enclosed documents give sufficient proof that the DAr
was an integrated part of the German war machine.
The pUrpose of
the DAI was to work as a spearhead in the penetration of foreign
countries and to organize footholds and points of support for the
German High Command's plans for aggression.
To do this subversive work effectively, the DAr always stressed
its character as a cultural and privately financed organization.
In its annual reports the Institut never

'were published between 1861 and 1944.
The longest single file is the 359 volumes of
Bohemia, published in Prague, 1861-1938.
Czechoslovakia is repres~ted by 166 titles
in 2,789 volUmes from 53 different cities,
and towns; Rumania ranks second with 111
titles in 900 volumes, and 27,079 unbound
issues. Poland has 83 titles, and the
United States 57 titles from every section
of the country. The coliection also in
cludes newspapers published by the Ger
mans in the occupied countries. In all, 43
countries are represented, with a total of
891 titles. [A list of these titles has been
compiled by the Serials Division of the,
Library. Photostat copies may be ordered
from the Photoduplication Service.]
Another, important group consists of
bibliographies, both of non-German pub
lications relating to Germany and of Ger
man-American publications. Documents
of the National Socialist Party are also
present, ,including circulars (many of
which are designated as "Confidentiai" or
"Secret"), the official gazette for the func
tionaries of the Party (Der Hoheitstraeger,
marked "For internal use only"), and the
Partei-Kanzlei publication, the' Reichs
verfuegungsblatt, 1941-1943, edition B
(marked "Not to be released"); these
Party documents are of particular interest
here in that they contain information con
cerning the DAI. The internal organiza
tion of the DAI is, further illuminated by
reports of the Institut's conventions in 1937
and 1938, accompanied by card filesrelat-,
irig to persons who were invited to' attend,
and by lists of DAI staff members. '
Propaganda activities of the DAI may
be found in many forms, some of which are
exemplified in this collection by the numer
ous loose-leaf binders of correspondence re
garding the establishment of a foundation,
the Ehrenmal, der deutschen Leistung im
Auslande (commonly referred to as the
"M,useum"). Closely related to this proj
8
ect is the correspondence on exhibits, clubs,
costumes, heraldry, pictorial material, lit
erature, lectures, musical and literary con
tests, and on the many other activities
which were used to disguise the Insti~t's
irlsidious political operations.
Other categories of material related to
the Institut's central purpose are:
Colonization
Reports from German groups abroad (in '
Europe and overseas).

Meine erste Anfrage betr. Eher-Verlag erfolgte im Juli 1945
~
gegenueber Lt. Joe Stein von I.C./III.A. Mir wurde geantwortet,
~
dass die ~ntspreehenden Massnahmen sohon erfolgt o~~r~q

September 1945 fuhr ieh mit Mr. Stuurman zum erstenmale zum
~
. Eher-Verle.g hin, Y!O Mr. Stuurman berei ts bekannt war. Ieh
~ ,
~
wurde vorgestellt'und autorisiert, das fuer unsere Mission
wiehtige Material zusammenzusuehen. DeI' erste Eindruek war
~
p.ierbei, dass der Verlag riieht nur aeusserlieh dureh die

··en

geleert. Beim Durehsehen der Lagerraeume im Parterre'und in
t;.
den Kellernzeigte sieh ein'ziemliehes Chaos. Es war schwer,
.1-1
e!.gentlieh unmoeglieh, ein systematisehes Durehsuehen zu
~
beginnen" zurnal aueh fast saemtliehe Beleuehtungskoerper
..
fehlten odeI' defekt waren. Ieh fand zufaellig einstueek
~
des grossen Verlagskataloges und beauftragte einen der
'~'.
VerlEgsangestellten, die darin von m~r angestttchenen Werke
~
inder von mtr festgelegten Anzahl fuer uns zusammenzusuehen.
-<
Darauf wurde mir geantwortet, das sei unmoeglieh, weil Js.
~
nur ein Bruehteil nes 'Terlages noeh vorhanden ee.i, vieles
n
p.ureh Brand odeI' Wasser .ze·rstoert und mibhes aueh schon in
i
die Makkulatur gegeben wurde. Ieh koenne also nur selbst zusamm~:-.5":~
ehen. was mir unter den vorliegenden Umetaenden fuer unsere
. en
Zweeke wertvoll ersehiene. Im uebrigen haetten Capt. Meier und
en
Lt. Rose {von der Mil.-Reg.?) schon hunderte (!) Pakete mit
Verlagswerken ne.eh Amerika gesandt unCI. Jegliches Weg-nehmen von
BuecheI'll. strengstens verboten. Wenn wi I' (I. C. III. A.) als6 auch
�- 2
etwas beschlB.gna.hrnen woll ten, muessten wir erst eine.
Berechtigung des Capt. Meier herbeibringen.
Mr. Stuurman suchte nun bei den Muenchne~ amerlkanischen
Dienststellen diesen Capt. ~Ieier unu Lt. Rose, konnte aber am
gleichen Tage diese Herr.en nicht mehr erreichen. Einige Tage
spaeter fuhren wir wieder nach dem Eher-Verlag. Mr. Stuurman
hatte inzwischen eine Besprechung mit Capt. Meier, und wir
konnten die'Lager durchsuchen. Von den tausenden Verlagswel"'ken
des Eher-Verlages waren in den Kellern aber nu~ ungefaehr
50-100 Werke und ent'sprechend Zeitschriften Nurnmern in Stapeln
vorhanden, alles andere sei entweder bei auswaertigen Druckern
. oder Buchbindereien. Auf Lager waren ha.uptsaechlich die Bueche:,·
von Rosenberg, Hitler uKampf'1I und weniger bekannte. Werke.
lch suchtenun z~sammen, was fuer uns .wichtig war - icb glaube
ungefaehr 30 Pak~te (~ungefaehr 5 Kist~n).
Durch meine diversen Fragen an die verschiedenen Angestell~e~
erfuhr lch aber einigewichtige Dinge. So die vertrauliche
Angabe des mit der Liquidierung beauftr~gten Buecherrevisor
Stegmeier, dass ein Teil des Verlags-Archives mit· Manuskripten.
Korresporiden etc. von den Nazis noch nach del'" Willibaldsburg
bei E1chsteett gebracht worden sei. lch meldete dies sofort
Mr. Stuurman und einige Tage oder Wochen (?) spaeter fuhren wi.:'
dorthin. Bericht darueber erfolgt weiter unten. Eine andere
An1gabe war die, dass die Honorar-Kartei des Verlages durch
Lt. BronfenHeadqu.Cmdt. beschlagnahmt sei und dassviele
Geschaeftsbuecher von den Nazis in die fruehere Reichszetllg
meisterei, der heutlgen amel"'ikanischen Milita.er-Regierung
Tegernseer Landstrasse gebracht worden seien. 1m sogenannten
~adenu seien Teile der von mir gesuchten Manuscripte. lch
liess mir den Raum aufsperren, besah das nicht grosse
Material und nahm, bis auf wenige defekte ~der belanglose
Dinge - alles zu unserer"Sammlung.
..
Inzwischen Kamen nach Freising zurn I.C. ungefa.ehr 30-60
~
Kisten aus Eichstaett mit Buechern des £her-Verleges. Es war
mi I" aber nicht moeglich, darueber etwus Naeheres· zu erfs.hren,1.:". nur durch Zufs.ll entdeckte ich sie. Sie l&.gen wochenlang in

Urn diese Zeit herum (ca. Olttober) fuhren wir dann
(Mr. stuurman, ieh unO. ein P8.eker von uns) naeh der Willi
baldsburg bei Eiehstaett. Dort sollten angeblieh die
wertvollsten Dinge desVerlages in den Kellern der ural ten
Burg eingemauert. sein. Wir konnten zuerst nieh~Wesentliehes
entdeeken, ausser einem grossen offenen Saal mit Fenstern
ohne Gles, in dem ein unglaubliches Chaos hersehte. Bis iu den
\'la!ien schri:tt man in Papie r. Buecher, Zei tschriften, Manus eripte.
Briefe, Kartothekkarten, Photos -- alles in groesster Unordnung
am Boden verstreut unO. teilweise defekt u~d besehmutzt. Es
war unmoeglieh, in kurzer Zeithier aine systematisehe Dureh~
suchung vorzunehmen. Mr. Stuurme.n, der lnzwischen dureh die
e_~f der 'Burg stationierte amerikanisQhe Waehe den Burgverwe.lter
.kommen liees, urn sich ueber die Ke.llerverhael tnisse Aufschluss
, geben,zu lassen; hatte nachher ein Rencontre mit dem inzwischen
aus der Stadt ersehienenen Sergeanten der amerike.nischen
Burgwa.ehe, der jegliches' Durehsuchen der Burg verbot •.Nach
langem Hin und Her ~rorde von ihm versproehen, dqss e1:' durch
seine Leute den vorher von mir besiehtigten Saal aufraeumen
una-aas ihm wlehtig erscheinende Material nach Freislng senden·
w~rde~ Der deutsehe Burgverwalter erklaerte auf Grund von
.
Plaenen die Lage der Kell~r und meints, von ~lne~ Einmauerung
von Kisten k~nne keine Redesein, da nur er dleSchluessel
fuer aIle Tueren habe, seit. 30 Jc.hren dort Kastellan sei .
'
und doeh et\*n\s davon 'wissen r:1Uesse. 'Der amerikanieche Sergea.nt
erwaehnte noch; dass bei der Pluenderung der Burg (Aprl1 1945)
dureh Polen, Russen usw. saemtliches Inventar der Burg ein~
sehliesslieh der Kisten des Eher-Verlages in den grossen Burghof
geworfen wurde, und dass das, was nicht @estohlen wurde, im
offenen Hofe wochenlang .dem Schnee, Regen und Sturm ausgesetzt
war, bis er de.n Rest in den oben erwaehnten Saal bringen liess.
Nach ungefaehr 14 Tagen kamen dann in Frelslng ca.. 10 Klsten
von Eiehstaett an, die Mauseripte, Briefe,Gesehaeftsbuecher
und diverse belanglose Verlagswe-::-ke enthielten. Es war aber fast
all~s defekt, schmutzig und unvollstaendig•. Das einzl;ge, was

Title
A name given to the resource
Presidential Advisory Commission on Holocaust Assets
Description
An account of the resource
<p>The Presidential Advisory Commission on Holocaust Assets in the United States, formed in 1998, was charged with investigating what happened to the assets of victims of the Holocaust that ended up in the possession of the United States Federal government. The final report of the Commission, <a href="http://govinfo.library.unt.edu/pcha/PlunderRestitution.html/html/Home_Contents.html"> “Plunder and Restitution: Findings and Recommendations of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Holocaust Assets in the United States and Staff Report"</a> was submitted to President Clinton in December 2000.</p>
<p>Chairman - Edgar Bronfman<br /> Executive Director - Kenneth Klothen</p>
<p>The collection consists of 19 series. The first fifteen series of the collection are composed mostly of photocopied federal records. These records were reproduced at the National Archives and Records Administration by commission members for their research. The records relate to Holocaust assets created between the mid 1930’s and early 1950’s by a variety of U. S. Government agencies and foreign sources.</p>
