Talking with my father yesterday, he mentioned that on CBC News that Germany has apparently declassifed a ton of material from WWII. I quickly asked if there was a website or anything, but he couldn't remember. :-) Could be a whole new tsunami of pics! Did anyone happen to hear anything about this? A Google hasn't really turned up much of anything...

It's possible he may have been speaking about how the US CIA declassified some 27000 pages of their operation records. As far as I can make out these aren't German documents, but rather CIA documents on how the CIA used former Nazis as spies against the Soviet Union.

Hmmm, maybe this was he was talking about, I'll try and ask him next time I see him...thanks Roger!

I read today on Yahoo news that a whole bunch of it was concentration camp records. A really touching story was part of it with a woman (Now in her late 70's) never knew what happened to her father after he was arrested in 1941. Sad.
I'm figuring as they go through more of it, the more we'll hear about it.

Well, it's possible but not terribly likely. There are five principal archives, the U.S., The British IWM, German, French and (God knows what) in the Russian vaults. I'd also like to hear more on this one...

Did a multitude of searches on search on cbc.ca and no luck....now this is gonna bug me! :-) Must..find..news..story....

Looks like Murphy was right, found this on CBS, looks like this is it:
