I asked about that today with no luck. Although the guys there try to be helpful their understanding of the context in which we are asking questions leaves a bit to be desired. I find myself trying to systematically breakdown/symplify my question in the hope that a keyword might cause the lightbulb to come on.
I'm sure there is info on weapons research available, but I'm afraid it would require a week's worth of 8-hour days to peel that onion back there and find some obscure record group that contains it. I'm sure Aberdeen and maybe even some of the other Army and/or test/production facilities have the info.
I have found that the Germans have over the years put out great books on technical subjects related to the war.

Bob,
Thanks for the great effort. I got this uniform 6 days ago and now we already have Hauptmann Casper's personnel information. I could not be more delighted.
And thanks to John for referring me to Bob.
This is the highlight of collecting for a guy like me. To put a face with a uniform and the history all comes out.
All the best,
Mike

I need to go to Yale and Smithsonian when it warms up and think I will find a reason to go to NARA on the research grant. I may never leave the building once I see what is in there

Delighted ..
Once again, I am delighted to have this information. Here are some shots of the uniform itself. In mint condition. We will never know how it made its way to the USA and ultimately to my collection room in Tennessee. I bought it in Iowa from a long-time uniforms collector.
Thanks again to John and Bob! I highly recommend Bob for this kind of research work. He is professional, thorough, knowledgeable, and quick.
