History of the Inventory Designer: Created on 15.2.1916 at the Admiralstab as a collection point for files from the naval area. The Marine Archives emerged from the collection point. The tasks of the War Science Department included the preparation of a naval warfare book on the First World War, the collection of official documents, evaluation of the naval war 1942-44, and the history of the Reich and war machine. The war science department of the Navy was ultimately under the command of the chief of naval warfare. Description of the holdings: On 15 February 1916, the War Science Department was created at the Admiralstab and assigned, among other things, the task of collecting files from the naval area, from which the naval archive emerged. Its most important tasks consisted in the work on the naval warfare work on the First World War, the official records collection 1928-1937, the evaluation of important events of the naval war 1942-1944 and the series "Taktik" 1939-1941 comprising eight issues. On 22 January 1936 the naval archives received the name Kriegswissenschaftliche Abteilung der Marine (at the same time research institute). It was last subordinated to the Chief of Naval Warfare and was divided into three groups for general business operations and the Naval Archives, for the descriptive processing of war events and research work on the official naval warfare work from 1939, finally for the conclusion of the naval warfare work 1914-1918 and the presentation of the history of the Reich Navy and Navy up to the beginning of the Second World War. Announcements and current orders Nov. 1918 - March 1945, preliminary work and drafts "The War at Sea 1914-1918", reports on Revolution 1918, hand and business files of the employees of the department responsible for the naval war from 1939. Characterisation of the contents: The collection mainly comprises announcements and current orders from November 1918 to March 1945, as well as preliminary work and drafts for the naval warfare work "Der Krieg zur See 1914-1918", including in particular materials for the volumes "Der Krieg in der Nordsee" VII, "Der Krieg in der Ostsee" III, "Der Handelskrieg mit U- Booten" III and IV, which did not appear until 1945, and collected reports on the 1918 revolution. Furthermore there are hand and business files of the employees of the department responsible for the naval war from 1939 onwards, including important original documents of the Imperial Navy from the time of the 1st World War.

History of the Inventory Designer: 1.2.1939 Appointment of the Chief of Training to relieve the General Staff of the Luftwaffe. At first he was directly subordinate to the Inspector General of the Luftwaffe, since April 1940 to the intermediate Chief of the Air Force. The inspections that had existed since 1935 for the individual branches of the armed forces were transferred to the Chief of Training. During the war, they were overwhelmingly converted into arms generals and mostly subordinated to the Chief of the Air Force General Staff. In the spring of 1943, the office of Chief of Education was closed. Some of the tasks were entrusted to the "General of Flight Training", who from July 1944 was subordinated to the Chief of the General Staff of the Luftwaffe and in October 1944 also took over the training area of the Luftwaffe Command Staff I a with the chart system.

The 3rd section of the General Staff was limited to tactical training, while the Chief AW had to carry out the entire remaining training of the Luftwaffe according to the instructions of the Reich Minister of Air Force (Ob.d.L.). Equipped with the status and disciplinary powers of a Commanding General, he had the right to supervise the training orders issued and to attend the service of the units in order to check the level of training of the troops. However, he did not exercise direct command over the troops. At first, the Chief AW was also directly responsible to the Inspector General of the Luftwaffe (Gen.Insp.d.Lw.), but since April 1940 to the intermediate Chief of the Air Force. In addition to the training department, the staff included the regulations and teaching material department, the strength and equipment department and the aerial photography department, which was spun off from Luftwaffeninspektion 1 (L In 1), the former army aircraft inspection. The air force inspections 1-14, which had also been under the control of the Gen.Insp.d.Lw. since their formation in 1935, now fell under the authority of the Chief AW, although from April 1940 only the inspections 1-3, 8-10 and 12 remained in his area of responsibility. In the spring of 1943, the Aerial Photogrammetry Department, together with the Air Force's Main Photogrammetry Department, was affiliated with the General of Reconnaissance Aircraft (formerly L In 2) in order to serve as the basis for reconnaissance work there. Surveying was assigned to the 7th department of the General Staff; only Group V (film) and the main film station remained with the Chief AW. Renamed in "General der Fliegerausbildung" (Gen.d.Fl.Ausb.)(Kreipe) the former chief AW remained limited to his main task of troop training. From July 1944 on he was subordinated to the Chief of the General Staff (Chief Gen.St.) and in October of the same year the training area was taken over by the Luftwaffe Command Staff Ia (training dept.), where already since 1942 the map system was integrated. The "General of the reconnaissance pilots" (v. Barsewisch), who at the same time also held the functions of General d. Lw. at the Commander-in-Chief of the Army (Ob.d.H.) (taken over from L In 1, Insp. d. Heeresflieger), was responsible for the organisation and conversion of the reconnaissance units and for the development of aircraft. Due to his impressions during inspections, he was able to make training demands on the general of the pilot training and even provide for the training of officers in reconnaissance supplementary units. In spring 1945 his duties were taken over by the 7th abbot of the Lw.Führungsstab (Lw.F.St.). The purpose of the air force inspections was to monitor and supervise the training, personnel and equipment of the various branches of the armed forces and other facilities of the air force. They made suggestions for improvements and advised the Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe (Ob.d.L.) during the war - partly with the powers of a Commanding General and renamed to weapon generals. The weapon generals were directly under the control of the chief of the general staff, thus in contrast to the inspections they were equal to the chief of AW/Gen.d.Fl.Ausb. New services have been created or areas of responsibility moved as needed. Thus the L In. 1 (inspection of the army pilots) with the range aerial photography and the connection to the army was divided between the boss AW and the Gen.d.Aufkl.flieger or took over later completely from the latter. Since January 1940 the L In 4 (Flakart.) and the L In 13 (Luftschutz) were subordinated to the general of the anti-aircraft artillery (Flakwaffe) (Rüdel, afterwards v. Axthelm) since January 1940; the latter became from October an independent mechanism. From April 1940, inspections 5 (flight safety), 6 (motor vehicles) and 14 (medical services) were directly under the command of the Air Force Chief - no longer under the command of AW. who in turn was subordinated to the Gen.Insp.d.Lw. At the end of 1944 all inspections were subordinated to the weapon generals. In May 1943, the "General der Truppentechnik" was appointed as successor to the Technical Office of the General Aircraft Master. In 1944 the "General der Fliegerbodenorganisation" emerged from the 2nd department of the General Quartermaster. Characterisation of the content: The Chief AW and the General of Flight Training have mainly passed down provisions on the training of the different types of armed forces, in particular the Air Force, as well as on staffing and organisation. The richest survivor is the general of reconnaissance pilots, whose written records contain most of the relatively extensive documents on aerial photography. The general of the anti-aircraft weapon as well as the inspections of the medical service and the civil air-raid protection are also handed down with noteworthy documents, the latter with experience reports about heavy air attacks on German cities. Remains of documents have been deposited in the Federal Archives by the generals of fighter, fighter and battle pilots as well as by the General of the Naval Sector, to whom the naval and sea pilots were technically subordinate, mostly in the form of leadership principles, guidelines for deployment and cooperation with the army and navy (with experience reports), technical requirements, development programmes, lists of the armament status and staffing of positions. State of preservation: Findbuch 1990 Vorarchivische Ordnung: The archive material, which has only been handed down in fragments, originates from the return of files from the USA and Great Britain to the Document Centre of the Military History Research Office, from where it was handed over to the military archive in 1968.

January 1917 Honorary citizen of the city of Frankfurt/Oder Description of the holdings: The estate of the officer and politician Alfred von Tirpitz contains rich sources on seven decades of German history: from the entry of the sixteen-year-old into the Royal Prussian Navy in 1865 to his service in the Imperial Navy as founder of fleet building and as long-standing State Secretary of the Reichsmarinemat, from his political service in the World War II as Chairman of the German Fatherland Party to his work for the German National People's Party. Since Tirpitz's research concentrated for a long time on fleet construction and fleet policy in Wilhelmine Germany, the part of the estate on this topic that had been developed until 1991 was intensively evaluated. The hand files and correspondence from the period of service as State Secretary of the R e i c h s m a r i n e a m t , which form a focal point of the collection, were particularly used for this purpose. The value of these documents is only marginally diminished by the publication of Tirpitzen's "Political Documents", since the texts published here are sometimes incomplete. Even more than the hand files, some of which had been compiled from copies and multiple copies of the official records, the letters from those years supplement the tradition of the R e i c h s m a r i n e a m t . Contrary to the papers of the politician Tirpitz, the openly and impartially written letters of the young Tirpitz to his parents from the decade around the foundation of the Reich - from 1865 to 1878 -, filling several volumes, convey a vivid picture of everyday life in the Prussian, then the North German, and finally the Imperial Navy. They also give an impression of the young Tirpitz's view of history and of the national ideas of the time when the Reich was founded. In addition, the estate documents the career of an officer in the Imperial Navy, but also the private ties within the officer corps. In the history of naval affairs, the sources on the development of the torpedo system deserve special mention; in foreign policy, the letters and documents on the representation of German interests in East Asia deserve special mention, as do the sources on the development of German-English relations against the background of German fleet building. After all, the collection is also rich in cultural history, as it reflects something of the lifestyle of a state secretary in Wilhelmine Germany. Tirpitz's activities after his resignation as State Secretary were focused both on the past and on the current political problems. Both have been reflected in the estate. The justification of fleet policy is documented, among other things, in the fragmentarily preserved drafts of the "Memories" and "Political Documents" as well as in the correspondence on these publications. The rich materials on the submarine war refer both to the policy of State Secretary Tirpitz and to his evaluation of the submarine war after his resignation; they form a bracket between the work in the civil service and the work afterwards. A not inconsiderable part of the collection comes from the party political commitment after 1916, first for the German Vaterlandspartei, of which he was first chairman, then for the Deutschnationale Volkspartei, whose Reichstag fraction he belonged to from 1924 until his age-related withdrawal from politics in 1928. The extensive correspondence from the work of the party politician Tirpitz, his speeches, essays and notes on his work as a member of the Reichstag, equally informative sources on the foreign and domestic policy of the Weimar Republic, only attracted the interest of research in recent years. Reference is made to Hagenlücke's monograph on the German Fatherland Party published in 1997 and Scheck's work on Tirpitz as a politician of the right wing 1914-1930 published in 1993 (see bibliography). For research into the activities of the Imperial Navy, the tradition from the period of service, including the related materials from the last phase of life, forms a comprehensive and far from exhausted fund. The rich private correspondence opens the way to further sources: since part of the correspondence is a recipient tradition and the drafts or copies of Tirpitz letters are only partially available and rather from his last decade of life, the determination of his letters in the estates of the correspondence partners is still a worthwhile object of research.
