Otto Wittmann papers relating to the Art Looting Investigation Unit of the United States Office of Strategic Services, 1933-2000, bulk 1945-1946

Detailed Interrogation Reports (DIRs), 1945-1946

Scope and content:

Included here are DIR nos. 1-7, 9-13, which were issued by the ALIU. A DIR no. 8 on Kajetan Muehlmann's role in the organized German looting of art of Poland and the Netherlands was also contemplated, but became a US-Dutch collaborative endeavor that had not issued a report at the time of the ALIU's final report. A DIR no. 14 on Maria Dietrich was planned, but in the end not issued, with the account of her activities incorporated into CIR no. 4. A DIR no. 15 on Rose Bauer, the secretary of Kajetan Muehlmann, was contemplated, but ultimately not issued.
