Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

I am requesting that the classified documents other and all documents pertaining to the following subjects be declassified and / or released forthwith. I know the Agency is in possession of a large number of these documents and it is long over due for them to be presented to the public and the families of those affected.

ALL documentation about SS-Obergruppenführer (from here on referred to as SS General) Hans Kammler Dr. Engineer (alternate mis-spellings of his name have been found in official files prior, so please expand searches). (for reference) The SS General was in charge of numerous WW2 German special projects, THE JÄGERSTAB, the rocket forces and underground production and research facilities. ALL captured by US forces in 1945 April and May 1945. and investigated by both army and Air-force engineers. As well as all intelligence agencies including ALSOS teams and OSS.

These reports are still classified, thus I can not provide a specific document reference and insist on a thorough file search given the historical importance of this request.

And ALL OSS files, about and with General Kammler, AND communication with Allan Dulles re. General Kammler.

I am requesting ALL interrogation reports conducted with the General, conducted after the end of the war in European theater, AND in CONUS. AND records as to the Generals activities in the US before his death. AND the location of his grave.

Also I request ALL reports about the Generals activities, during and after WW2. Including the name(s) he was given after the end of the war.

Note: much of the requested documentation has not yet been declassified, but given the time frame and sensitivity of this information has long passed I request this be found and released.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Tino Von Struckmann

Dear Ms. Raye L. Thornton

This is incorrect, this person and this research request is very much within the scope of the Army Corps of Engineers, General Kammler was the key figure in Nazi Germany who oversaw and controlled underground and above ground special constructions throughout. And it is quite clear that after German surrender the Army Engineers DID in fact survey all of these mentioned sites before hand over to the Russian Army.

The army did produce on vague report on many of these but they also documented its specific construction and the content found within, and those original photographs ans reports were drawn up by the Engineers among others. And those are the documents I am requesting.

Sincerely
Tino Struckmann
