Scope and content
History of the Inventor: Similar to Alsace, in 1940 no territorial arrangement was made for Lorraine (Départe-ment Moselle) in the context of the armistice negotiations which would have clearly aimed at annexation of the territory by Germany. As in the case of Alsace, this incorporation was to be carried out tacitly, with a policy of Germanization which, as a means of achieving its goal, made use partly of expulsion and partly of the cultural policy of excluding French traditions from public life. The security police tasks here consisted on the one hand in supporting this Germanization policy, and on the other in the usual Nazi measures of fighting opponents and resistance. Processing note: Online-Findbuch Inventory description: Inventory history: The inventory consists of files that were confiscated by the US occupying power at the end of the war and later returned to the Federal Republic of Germany. The total number of files is 93 AU. Archival evaluation and processing: The evaluation and indexing of the holdings took place in 1976 in the Koblenz office of the Federal Archives. The present finding aid is based on the preliminary finding aid developed there. Characterisation of the contents: The records of the German police stations in Lorraine kept in the Federal Archives contain files of the offices of the Commander of the Security Police and of the SD in Metz as well as the corresponding branch offices, files of the Higher SS and Police Leader Westmark, the commanders of the Security Police and of the SD in Metz and Saarburg, the Commander of the Ordnungspolizei in Saarbrücken and Metz, the police president there and his subordinate organs as well as various gendarmerie posts.
