Hi. Thanks for the plug! I am glad I let you look over my shoulder. The DVDs sold very quickly, so I have re-listed them on ebay - 280734655497, 280734655537, 280734655572 - or, if anyone is interested, you can email me at digitalhistoryarchive@verizon.net to order them, or for more information. By the way, I also have other digitized records form NARA to offer as well.

Regards, Marc

For what it's worth, here is what a member of another forum posted about the first three SS-KB DVDs - "I decided to contact Marc on purchasing some of the DVD's he is putting together. They arrived today and I must say how happy I am with them. If you are interested in SS photographs do yourself a favor and contact Marc. I have seen thousands of SS photos but there are many new to me. Plenty of combat, decoration, parade etc. Well worth the price and can't wait to get more.

I'm not the Marc referred to in earlier posts, however, I have been to NARA and examined the contact sheets in the Ribbentrop collection. I scanned around 700 individual photos off of contact sheets back in February of this year.

I'm skeptical that scanning an entire sheet at 800dpi can yield a usable result. The sheet scans might be useful as reference guides to what is there, as indeed there are many very good, interesting, "unknown" photos. However, good luck turning these 800dpi scans into decent prints, or putting them into a book. (I say "unknown" because already around 1970, many of the contact sheets were printed in a couple of long out of print books, where the images can barely be recognized)

I scanned individual images off of contact sheets, each one smaller than most postage stamps, at 2400dpi. In most cases, it yielded usable scans, but even then, some are not of very good quality, because the image on the sheet has flaws which become exaggerated by enlarging.

So, my point is, buyer beware. These ebay products may have some use, but may not be as good as they seem. At least they are not overly expensive.

**MLW** · 09-07-2011, 08:23 PM

I am the Marc who is scanning and offering the SS-KB contact sheets on DVD. The point of the project is not to produce scans that are publishable in print form. The reasons for this are, as previously stated, 1) that the quality of the prints are sometimes spotty, and 2) there are technical limitations that prevent the scanning entire contact sheets in mass and making them available to everyone at reasonable cost. The true value of digitizing the collection is in the sum of the images, which in their totality show many aspects of the Waffen-SS not often seen. Finally, despite what some may say, many of the images are well composed and simply stunning to see. After all, each DVD has between 4-5,000 images on it. That is a lot of history for a low price. Response among those who have bought the first three DVDs I have produced is very positive. A few have commented on the interesting events and details that they have seen in the collection. I say - see for yourself. The quality is more than sufficient for the purposes of research and militaria collecting.

Cheers, Marc

Okay, that sounds fair enough. As an author, my first thought about photos is always, "how can I best use this in one of my projects." That will color my view a bit. As a research tool, rather than an end in itself, I agree these will be extremely useful.

KB Files

Hi guys,

As a researcher on a budget, and currently limited in my chances to travel to NARA, ECPA or the BA archives, (I'm in Australia with 3 small children!) I bought these photos in the hope of getting a look at the files I always wanted to see.

I am blown away by these files, and recommend them to anyone with an interest in this field. Of course they are not %100 perfect, but they give a great view of the 'narrative' of the photos, and show many new photos unknown to me.

Thanks for putting this thing together and I hope you manage to get the rest of the SS-KB photographers on disk one day.

Cheers
Steve

I bought this set and am very pleased!

**markus** · 10-16-2011, 01:17 PM

Hello,

I read about these DVDs here for the first time andI find that it's a good idea to make all these photos available in a compact solution (don't know what the costs are though).

I love collecting books and see these photos in printed form, but this is not always necessary for reference purposes.

How do I have to imagine myself the handling of these images though?

Are they really small and do I have to zoom in on them on a large format contact sheet? Would it be possible to post some examples of the images here on the thread?

I'm very interested in KB Büschel's images (some of which I have in original large format) e.g. and others as well of course.

Many thanks in advance and regards,

Markus

**MLW** · 10-16-2011, 04:30 PM

Hi Markus,

I scan each contact sheet at 800dpi. That creates an image that is about 20MB. You can zoom in and out using any jpeg viewing program.

I would post an image to this forum, but the software does not let me do that. Maybe my member level is too junior for such a privilege. Email me at digitalhistoryarchive (at) verizon.net and I can send you examples that I can't post here.

Regards, Marc

**MLW** · 10-16-2011, 06:39 PM

I have three of the DVDs from the SS-KB Photo Collection listed in my brand new ebay store - http://stores.ebay.com/digitalhistoryarchive - with a few of the images from the contact sheets. That should give you an idea of the images in the collection.

Regards, Marc

**MJC** · 10-29-2011, 08:51 PM

I am posting this on Marc's behalf in response to Markus' inquiry regarding SS-KB Büschel. Due to WAF space limitations, I took a contact sheet and cropped it into three pieces. Together, they would be one contact sheet, albeit at very low resolution.

Please keep in mind that one contact sheet in the SS-KB collection is 20 to 25MB. These three crops total about 1MB, so they don't accurately represent the clarity and resolution of the final product, only how the data is presented in the original form.

I hope I didn't confuse the issue. Let me know.

**MJC** · 10-29-2011, 08:53 PM

This is the last third of the single contact sheet. Cheers!
