BDC theft

Yes, Wisch and Dietrich.

One more recommendation originally stolen from the Berlin Document Center.

Sad.

Markus, I am not sure I understand your comment about the document having been stolen from the Berlin Document Center. Can you explain? Thanks.

Just as an aside, there were huge numbers of docs stolen years ago from Berlin by so-called "researchers" who were taking documents to sell.

While not knowing all the fine points of it, a search here on the forum will turn up a fair amount of info.

Hi !

It was basically a well-known theft organized by German
and U.S. dealers during the 80'ies, smuggeling out
documents from the personnel files, etc. from the archieves
of the German governement in Berlin.

Google. You should find something.

Thanks Hank and Markus. I will check it out. That is a real tragedy. Take care.

You'll find the last paragraph interesting regarding the dealer concerned.

Very interessting about the stolen documents from the archiv:

"The others on trial today were Henri Berger, 58, and Herbert Borrmann, 52, both flea-market dealers in West Berlin, and Andre Husken, 32, of Hamburg, one of the best known of West Germany's war memorabilia dealers."
