Thank you for the initial tunnel plans of General Hans Kammler's tunnel systems. However this is far from all of the material you must have in your files. Please allow me to clarify as this is extremely significant for history as well as the family members who are still alive.
After the war, the US forces took possession of all of these underground factories. And they were extensively documented with photos and video and a complete inventory was also taken of these. Reports to this effect was made on several occasions by the OSS, The Air-force intelligence,. Army Intelligence and technical division as well as initial reports from field commands as they liberated these sites. Aerial photographs were taken during the war and after for further documentation.
Further more an extensive report was made after the war documenting these tunnels in detail including photos and usage as well as construction details. This report is in 3 parts only part of 1 have been made public, I request the other two. In OSS reports that were released it is clearly stated that photos were taken and microfilm made and deposited in archived in 1945.
Furthermore it is clear communication between Allan Dulles and William Donovan and SS General Hans Kammler had taken place, and after the war General Kammler was relocated to the US and later joined by his chief engineer karl Emiel Fibinger. This gives a clear idea how important these tunnel factories were to the military and intelligence community.
These tunnel systems especially those of Dora Mittelbau, Bergkristall, Quarz and Kellernbau was the most technically advanced of the war. As was the special sites constructed in Ordruff. (not on the list you sent initially) All were handed over to the Russians in August, so at this point there should be no reason for further secrecy.
I understand most of this was classified due to the cold war and possibly embarrassments, however this was 77 years ago and it is time to release these documents. many of these tunnels are now destroyed and the construction that took place there is know in detail and obsolete.
Please take a closer look for all the documentation and photographic evidence you may have, It may be misfiled or could still be classified but can be released. And if it is classified please let me know so I can file for declassification through the proper legal channels .
I hope you can help me there are only a few living witnesses left from these places and they would like the truth shared before they pass, as does the Generals family.
Thank you
