Records of the Central European Division, 1944-1953 (Entries 381A,B,C)
These records were maintained by the Division of Central European Affairs formed in January 1944, to handle U.S. relations with Germany, Austria, and Czechoslovakia. As part of the Office of European Affairs, this Division consisted of a German Branch and an Austrian-Czechoslovakian Branch. The mission of the Division was to direct the daily conduct of relations with these countries. In order to fulfil this assignment, the Division evaluated information from various sources, prepared studies, tried to anticipate major problems, coordinated U.S. policy with other agencies, and worked with Allied and Occupation authorities.
The bulk of the records were created between 1944 and 1949, and deals primarily with the occupation of Germany, the problems of Austria, inter-Allied relations, economic and financial questions, legal and political affairs, and reparations. Included are files on external assets, reparations, restitution, restitution claims, and claims against Germany.
