Inventory description: The inspector was the highest representative of his branch in peace and supervised its training. With the entry into force in 1939 of the War Peak Division, the inspectors were placed under the command of the Chief of Army Armaments and Commander of the Reserve Army, and their duties were limited to reassembling and training their weapons in the Reserve Army. By the end of the war the subordination of the weapons inspectors had changed twice (chief of training in the reserve army from October 1942, weapons generals in the OKH from November 1944), but this did not entail any significant change for their areas of responsibility. According to the Army Decree Gazette of 1920 (No. 1086), the inspector of the intelligence troops was responsible for matters: - for the theoretical and practical training of all weapons and in particular of the intelligence corps in the technique and use of intelligence media, - for intelligence in national defence. After the division of the war peak on March 1, 1939, In 7 had the following tasks: 1. organization of the intelligence troops of the replacement army, new formations for the field army, war strength records, personal data, household, army dog and carrier pigeon affairs (became the responsibility of the Reichsführer of the SS in Nov. 1944), construction affairs, 2. Training of the intelligence unit of the reserve army, training regulations, 3. equipment with intelligence equipment, war equipment certificates for field and reserve armies, development of the intelligence equipment, procurement plans, 4. telephone and telegraph networks in the area B d E, operation of these networks, regulation of operation with OKW, cooperation with the Reichspost, 5. radio regulation for the area B d d E.., Operating regulations for fixed radio station Berlin, production and distribution of secret means for OKW, army and authorities At that time, the BdE's communications operations team and the BdE's communications department were subordinate to the head of In 7's department. Content characterization: The tradition of the In 7 must be regarded as lost. Of the few available files, a list of English abbreviations in news traffic (4 vols.), various elaborations on the history and operational experience of the news troop (including hand files of Lieutenant General Thiele, Chief of Staff of In 7), the deployment instruction "Fall Weiß" (with additions and orientation reports, September/October 1939), as well as some documents on news assistants are to be emphasized. Detailed information on radio operation, radio and communications technology (e.g. instructions for use of the Enigma cipher machine) as well as on the training of the intelligence corps is available in the official printed matter collection.
