This CXiide is one of a series of finding aids describingthe seiaed German records deposited in the National Archives.The series was initiated by the Microfilming Project of theCommittee for the Study of Wsr Documents of the American His-torical Association in cooperation with the National Archivesand the Department of the Army. With the termination of theAHA project in July 1963 > the National Archives assumed soleresponsibility for the reproduction of records and the pre-paration of Guides.

is one of a number of Guides describing the recordsof the German Army field commands. These records fall intofive categories: Records of Army Groups, Records of Armies,Records of Corps, Records of Divisions, and Occupational andOther Records.

This Guide, which constitutes Part IV of records of thecorps, describes the contents of 230 rolls of microfilm re-producing records of the XVIII - XXVII Corps. The records in-clude material on the annexation of Austria and the occupation ofthe Sudetenland in 1938, the campaign in Poland in 1939, thecampaigns in Norway and western Europe in 1940, the campaigns inthe Balkans and Crete in 1941* and the campaign against theSoviet Union, 1941-44, including the fighting in Finland. Thereare also records on the occupation of Hungary in 1944, anti-partisan warfare in the Balkans, and occupation duty in France.

Rolls 1631-1665 reproduce the Military Propaganda Archivesof the Intelligence Branch of the XVIII Corps ( GeneralkommandoXVIII Armeekcrps, Ic Wehrpropaganda Archiv) comprising photo-graphs, experience reports, essays, press reports, newspaperclippings, and other material covering most of the campaignsmentioned in the above paragraph and smaller amounts of materialon World War I and earlier military history, on military andpolitical events between the two world wars, on the campaignin North Africa and Italy during World War II, on the German

Havy, on German-Italian-Japanese relations, and on the warin the Pacific.

The provenance to which the documents are attributed isthe army headquarters that originally kept the file, althougha large proportion of the items had in fact been retired "07the units to the Heeresarchiv Potsdam for permanent retention.There an accession number was stamped or written on tne cover,and it is by this numbering system that the folders were organ-ized in the World War II Records Division and its predecessor,the Departmental Records Branch of the Department of the /jrmy,which office administered the records before the assumptionof these duties by the National Archives. All folders acces-sioned by the Heeresarchiv were assigned numbers in sequenceand logged in by unit in the Potsdam Catalog. All such a^ld-ers bear numbers below 75,000. Folders that had no: gonethrough the Heeresarchiv accessioning process befort cartureor had never been retired to the Heeresarchiv were giver,folder numbers in an extension of the Heeresarchiv systemusing numbers above 75,000, but otherwise following ~^BPotsdam pattern.

Considerable information on the fate of Germany*: mili-tary records during World War II, including information onseveral destructive fires and subsequent efforts to recon-struct records that were burned, may be found in the filesof the Chef der Heeresarchive in the German Army HipCommand. (These records were filmed as Microcopy N?. T-78,Rolls 1-38, and are described in Guide No. 12 of this series.)

The descriptive material for the units was prepared oncards and each card has been filmed before the foldsr it de-scribes. The cards for all folders on one roll of film arealso filmed at the beginning of that roll. The basic infor-mation contained on these cards was used in compiling theentries for the Guide.

iii

A short unit history precedes the file item listing foreach corps. The unit's history has also been filmed at thebeginning of each roll of who unit's records.

The term "Roll" in the Guide refers to the sequence ofthe film. "1st Frsme" gives the frame nu&ber of the firstpage of the folder. The "Item No." is the identificationsymbol on the original folder. The "Item" provides (a) theabbreviation of the staff section that originated the docu-ment, (b) the title appearing on the folder cover, and (c)additional information providing a general idea of the con-tents. The inclusive dates of the file item are given undera "Date" Column.

IV

The original records have been returned to the FederalRepublic of Germany. The microfilm has been deposited withthe Publications Sales Branch, National Archives, Washington,D.C. 20408, as Microcopy T-3H. The microfilm may be con-sulted at the National Archives or copies may be ordered.A price list is included at the end of the Guide.

The descriptions were written by John Strekel, StevenPinter, Cleveland E. Collier, Ignaz Ernst, Thomas L. Lor-palen, Thomas W. Power, and Walter Szopiak under the super-vision of Donald E. Spencer. Petronilla Hawes prepared th^draft of the Guide and typed the stencils.
