Berlin Document Center, Archive in Steglitz-Zehlendorf, Germany.
The Berlin Document Center contains extensive collections of Nazi-era documents, personnel files, and administrative records within the German Federal Archives complex.
Following World War II, American forces established this center to gather and preserve documents essential for the Nuremberg Trials against war criminals.
The center maintains over 10.7 million membership cards from the Nazi Party, along with 600,000 SS personnel files that researchers examine for historical documentation.
Researchers need proper identification and authorization to access specific files, as many documents contain sensitive personal information subject to privacy regulations.
In 1945, Counter Intelligence Corps agents recovered these documents from a paper mill in Freimann, where Nazi officials attempted to destroy them.
