Norbert George Barr papers, 1942-1953.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/467178313

Correspondence, manuscripts, documents, photographs, and printed materials. The papers cover the years 1942-1953, during which time he served with the U.S. Army Military Intelligence, participated in the Nürnberg war crimes trials, and was employed by the U.S. Displaced Persons Commission. At Nürnberg, he first held the position of interrogator and later helped edit trial documents for publication. The correspondence is largely of a personal nature, although some is work-related. With the manuscripts are three bound typescript carbon copies of essays on Nazi Germany by Herbert Pohle von Dziecielski, an engineer in the Speer ministry. The majority of the collection consists of interrogation summaries of presoners of war and defendants. Among other materials, there are also numbered 3x5 cards listing items of evidence, documents and evidence on individuals and institutions, a translation of the journal of the German Chief of the Army General Staff from August 14, 1939 to September 24, 1942, and reports on displaced persons. The photographs are few: most are of an unidentified possible atrocity. The printed materials, in English, French, German, include newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and books and range in date from 1937 to 1951.
