Documents / FOIA release
This is a secret CIA dispatch dated December 1965, released under the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act. It passes Berlin Document Center record requests from a source called CASTROP. The requests concern the SIPO and SD Operational Group with the 14th Army, which operated in Poland in September 1939 under Udo von Woyrsch. The dispatch lists members of a Special SIPO Detachment drawn from police officer schools and asks where they served afterward, in support of war crimes investigations. It also notes Munich file traces on some of the individuals.
